The Allahabad High Court's two-judge bench overturned a single-judge ruling that allowed a father to transfer de facto custody of his minor children to any person. The bench, including Chief Justice Arun Bhansali and Justice Kshitij Shailendra, ruled that such a transfer right is against legal and moral principles. The decision came after the mother appealed a dismissal of her Habeas Corpus petition seeking custody of her two sons, challenging the father's custody transfer to relatives.
