Sugirtha vs Gowtham

The Supreme Court upheld the Madras High Court's decision regarding interim visitation rights under Section 26 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, affirming that the father, as a natural guardian, is entitled to visitation despite the mother's claims of domestic violence and the child's discomfort. The Court emphasized the importance of maintaining the child's relationship with both parents, modifying visitation to every Sunday while considering the child's tender age and travel distance. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the High Court's order for the mother to facilitate these visits.
