RUCHI MAJOO vs SANJEEV MAJOO

The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdictional conflict in custody disputes involving international elements, specifically under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890, Sections 7, 8, 10, and 11. The Court held that the High Court of Delhi was justified in dismissing the mother's petition for custody on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction, as the minor was not ordinarily residing in Delhi, and emphasized the principle of comity of courts, directing that custody issues should be resolved in the American courts where the parties and the child are citizens. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, thereby upholding the dismissal of the mother's custody petition and the jurisdictional ruling.
