VIKRAM VIR VOHRA vs SHALINI BHALLA

The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision allowing the respondent-wife to take their child to Australia, emphasizing the paramount interest and welfare of the child as per Section 26 of the Hindu Marriage Act. The Court noted that the previous custody arrangement was based on mutual consent and that the respondent's employment in Australia warranted a modification of the visitation rights. The Court affirmed that the welfare of the child is the primary consideration in custody disputes, leading to the dismissal of the husband's appeal.
