JABALPUR, India, Oct. 25 -- Madhya Pradesh High Court issued the following judgment/order on Sept. 25:
The petitioner - mother has filed subject habeas corpus petition contending that custody of the corpus i.e. the child aged about six years is being detained by the parental grand mother after demise of her husband.
Learned counsel for respondent submits that petitioner herself had deserted the child and despite the order passed by this Court permitting petitioner to reside at the house of respondent with corpus, was not abided by the petitioner and she herself left the house.
This is disputed by learned counsel for petitioner who submits that initially the house was kept lock and thereafter she was turned out from the house.
Since this is the habeas corpus petition, the issue with regard to custody and welfare of child can be more appropriately considered by the Guardianship Court.
Learned counsel for respondent under instructions submits that he has no objection to petitioner visiting corpus at the residence of respondent and even staying with respondent i.e. grand mother.
In view of the above, the petition is disposed of with liberty to petitioner to approach appropriate Court for exercise of her rights of guardianship and custody.
