you do not have to be present in delhi on 5th february in case you hire a lawyer in delhi. the lawyer can send you a vakalatnama thorugh email and you just need to put your signatures on the same and courier the same to your lawyer. even the reply to petition filed by your wife can be sent to you thorugh email and the same may be signed by you there in kerala. the case cannot be transferred even by supreme court as the girl is the resident of delhi. however, in case you hire a lawyer within time, you can defend the petition.
