Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing the appellant-father to return custody of the child, Master Aadvik, to the respondent-mother, citing violations of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court's orders under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to custody orders from foreign jurisdictions and recognized the mother's legal rights in this context. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to prioritize the child's welfare and the mother's custody rights.
