Karnataka High Court Rules on Child Custody and School Transfer Without Court Orders
The Karnataka High Court fined a father Rs 5 lakh for forcibly taking his minor daughter from court premises without a custody order, emphasizing the child's rights under Article 21. Separately, the court ruled that neither parent can unilaterally change a child's custody or school without judicial approval, rejecting a mother's transfer of her daughter to a new school without court consent. The court stressed that actions must prioritize the child's welfare but follow legal procedures to protect their rights and dignity.
