DAMAYANTI HEMANT MATANI vs DR. VIREN BHAGWANDAS ASHER

The Supreme Court modified the High Court's order allowing the respondent-father to take the minor child, Darsh, to Nottingham, U.K. for surgery, establishing a new custody schedule from the first week of October 2016 to January 31, 2017. The Court mandated that the father and grandmother file an affidavit ensuring the child's return to India post-treatment and that custody will revert to the appellant-mother. The appeal was disposed of with these modifications, emphasizing the child's best interests.
