Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that a father's right to visitation cannot be denied based on the acrimonious background of the case, emphasizing the importance of maintaining parental relationships. The Court directed that the minor child be produced in the Family Court for visitation on the 3rd Saturday of every month, allowing interaction with the father and grandparents under supervision. The appeal was disposed of with no order as to costs, reinforcing the child's right to maintain a relationship with both parents.
