Jharkhand High Court Upholds Mother's Custody, Emphasizes Both Parents' RolePreviousNext

The Jharkhand High Court upheld a family court's decision granting custody of a five-year-old boy to his mother, emphasizing that a child's need for love, care, and protection from both parents is a basic human right. The father challenged the custody order, alleging desertion and denial of visitation by the mother, who left him in 2023. The court ruled that disturbing the current arrangement could harm the child's mental and psychological well-being, supporting the child's stable upbringing.
