Jasmeet Kaur vs State (Nct Of Delhi)

The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdictional issues arising from the custody of children under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890, specifically Section 9, and the applicability of international custody orders. The Court held that the Indian courts must respect the final custody order issued by the U.S. Superior Court, which granted sole custody to the husband, thereby emphasizing the principle of comity of courts. The petitions filed by the wife were dismissed, affirming the husband's custody rights as per the U.S. ruling.
