The Supreme Court addressed the guardianship dispute between Smriti Madan Kansagra and Perry Kansagra concerning their minor son, Aditya. The court examined the jurisdiction under the Guardianship and Wards Act, 1890, and the implications of dual citizenship on custody matters. Ultimately, the court emphasized the importance of the child's welfare in determining custody arrangements, leading to a decision that favored the stability of Aditya's living situation with his mother in India.
