Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision granting Sushil Sharma custody of his two minor children under the principles of international child custody jurisdiction. The Court emphasized that Sarita Sharma's removal of the children from the jurisdiction of the American Court without permission constituted a violation of interim custody orders. The Court affirmed that the custody order from the American Court, which declared Sushil as the sole custodian, was valid and enforceable, thereby rejecting Sarita's claims regarding her lawful custody under Texas law.
