ROHITH THAMMANA GOWDA vs THE STATE OF KARNATAKA

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal challenging the Karnataka High Court's decision that denied the writ of habeas corpus for the appellant's minor child. The court emphasized the importance of the child's welfare and the father's rights, ultimately directing that the child be produced before the court. The ruling reinforced the principle that visitation rights must be balanced with the child's best interests, especially in cases involving international custody.
