Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Family Court's decision granting custody of the minor daughter, Anisha, to the mother, Komal Rayana, under Section 6 of the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956, and Sections 7 and 25 of the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890. The Court emphasized the best interests of the child in custody disputes, affirming that the mother had a more stable environment for the child's upbringing. The appeal by the father for custody was dismissed, reinforcing the Family Court's order.
