Bombay High Court has ordered a woman to return her five-year-old grandson to his biological parents, ruling that her emotional bond with the child does not give her superior custody rights. The court emphasized the parents’ primary rights.
The Kerala High Court, led by Justice V.G. Arun, overturned a Child Welfare Committee ruling that granted custody of an infant to the father, emphasizing the mother’s right to breastfeed and nurture her child as essential elements of the right to life. The court criticized biases against the mother’s choices, ensuring the child’s best interests were prioritized.
