Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of child custody following the divorce of Jitender Arora and Sukriti Arora, both of whom obtained ex-parte divorce decrees in different jurisdictions. The Court emphasized that both parties had mutually consented to the dissolution of their marriage and were focused on the welfare of their daughter, Vaishali. The Court held that the best interests of the child must prevail, and thus, it directed that custody arrangements be made considering her well-being, while also recognizing the jurisdictional complexities arising from the international aspect of the case.
