Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the custody dispute under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890, specifically referencing Section 10. The Court held that the High Court's decision to allow the parties to approach the family court for custody was appropriate, emphasizing the need for a competent jurisdiction to resolve such matters. The Court noted the appellant's valid grounds for custody but did not grant immediate relief, instead maintaining the status quo regarding the child's residence in Delhi pending further proceedings.
