The Bombay High Court directed a father to hand over custody of his one-year-old daughter to her mother. Justices S. V. Kotwal and Sandesh Patil noted the child is breastfeeding, stating, “The child is dependent on the mother to some extent on breastfeeding.”
Allahabad High Court cautioned that children must not become weapons in custody battles, stressing boarding school placement is no easy fix for parental conflict. The bench dismissed cross-appeals, highlighting the need for prior psychological assessment of the child’s welfare.
