Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of visitation rights of a father, Neeraj Bhasin, to his younger son Vishnu, amidst a contentious separation from the mother. The Court noted that the elder son Pranav was resistant to visiting the father, while Vishnu displayed a willingness to spend time with him. The Court held that it would be unjust to deny the father visitation rights and ordered that he be allowed to take Vishnu out every Saturday, including overnight stays on the first and third Saturdays of the month, thereby balancing the interests of the children and the father's rights.
