Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the custody dispute under Section 6 of the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956, emphasizing the child's best interests. The Court upheld the High Court's decision granting the father visitation rights while maintaining the mother's interim custody of the minor child, Thalbir Sharma. The Court noted the mother's qualifications and the father's issues with addiction, ultimately affirming the need for both parents' involvement in the child's upbringing.
