Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a writ petition for habeas corpus concerning two children, where the Delhi High Court had dismissed the petition without a speaking order. The Court emphasized the importance of maintaining the children's relationship with their paternal grandparents and father, ordering interim access rights for the grandparents to meet the children every alternate weekend. The Court held that the children's best interests necessitate such access, despite the case not being a custody proceeding, thereby ensuring the children's emotional and familial connections are preserved.
