As per case facts, a married couple with a minor son is in a custody dispute. The wife initially secured custody via a Writ Petition, with visitation for the husband
...and in-laws. Later, the husband and in-laws filed a petition for full custody, alleging wife's mental health issues, negligence (minor injuries, school changes). Wife denied this, alleging dowry demands. The Family Court dismissed husband's custody petition but granted significant weekend visitation. Both parties appealed this Order. The question arose whether the child's custody should be transferred to the husband, considering the child is over five years and allegations against the wife. Finally, the High Court ruled the minor child remains in the permanent custody of the wife. The husband and in-laws get weekly four-hour visitation (Sat/Sun), plus 7 days summer and 4 days winter school vacations. The court stressed child stability, discouraged negative influence or excessive pampering, and found no evidence to deem the wife unfit.
