Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a habeas corpus petition concerning the custody of minor Adithya Chandran, born to Dr. Ravi Chandran and Vijayashree Voora. The Court noted that the custody orders from the State of New York were being violated, leading to the illegal detention of the child in India. The Court directed the Central Bureau of Investigation to trace the minor child, emphasizing the need to uphold the custody orders issued by the foreign court and protect the child's welfare.
