Vivek Singh vs Romani Singh

The Supreme Court addressed the custody dispute of minor Saesha Singh under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1980, specifically Sections 10, 12, and 25. The Court emphasized the paramount consideration of the child's welfare in custody matters, overruling the Family Court's decision that favored the appellant. The High Court's ruling granting custody to the respondent was upheld, establishing that the natural mother is generally preferred unless compelling reasons dictate otherwise.
