Indian High Courts Address Child Custody Disputes Emphasizing Child WelfarePreviousNext

Two Indian high courts addressed child custody disputes emphasizing child welfare. The Jharkhand High Court granted interim custody of a four-year-old girl to her mother, highlighting the child's need for maternal affection and the mother's IVF-related sacrifices. Meanwhile, the Gujarat High Court intervened in an international custody case involving NRI parents, ordering preservation of police station CCTV after the mother was summoned at midnight. The court also facilitated communication between the father in Australia and the child in India, with proceedings ongoing.
