Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the appellate challenge to a High Court order regarding interim custody of a minor child. The High Court upheld the Family Court's decision, which restricted the father's access, requiring him to file fresh applications for visitation. The Court emphasized the importance of the child's welfare and the discretion of Family Courts in custody matters, ultimately affirming the High Court's order. The judgment underscores the Court's deference to family courts' custody decisions in the context of ongoing disputes.
