Vivek Kumar Chaturvedi vs State Of U.P

The Supreme Court examined a custody dispute involving a minor whose mother had passed away and was residing with grandparents. The lower court prioritized the child's welfare, allowing him to stay with his maternal grandfather while granting the father visitation rights. The appellant argued for custody based on the child's natural guardian rights, citing precedent emphasizing the importance of the child's relationship with the natural guardian. The Court upheld the lower court's decision, emphasizing the child's welfare as paramount and recognizing the child's current environment as suitable.
