DV Act case was filed in Andhra Pradesh. We live in Telangana. My parents are very old and cannot travel to defend.
Does High Court of AP has power to transfer case to Telangana?
Which Court do I have to go to transfer the case to Telangana?

DV cases are more or less civil cases. It is not necessary that the respondents should attend the court. Your advocate can take care of your response/defense.
If the cause of action has taken place in AP, how come the parents residing in Telengana are the respondents?

Dear Sir,
Without going into the facts let me inform you that a High Court cannot transfer a case outside its jurisdiction. To transfer a case from one State to another, person has to approach Hon'ble Supreme Court of India through a Transfer Application.

High Court has no power to transfer any case from it's jurisdiction to another High Court's jurisdiction .This power vests to Supreme Court of India so you have to approach Supreme Court.
