Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a custody dispute under the Guardian and Wards Act, 1890, emphasizing the need for arrangements that prioritize the welfare of minor children. The Court upheld the interim visitation rights previously established, while also directing the lower court to expedite final orders regarding custody. The Court noted that the existing visitation schedule was burdensome for the children, indicating a need for modification to ensure their well-being, but ultimately maintained the interim arrangement until a final decision is made.
