You need to approach supreme court with transfer petition.

Normally, Husband or wife can put transfer petition to transfer the petition from the place where it is initiated to the place of convenience. If the source place and the destination place are in the same state then transfer petition has to be put in the high court of the same state. If the source place and the destination place are in the different state then transfer petition has to be put in the Supreme Court.
