Our Firm successfully obtained a favorable order in a child custody case. In the present case the father of the child filed a writ of Habeas Corpus in the Delhi High Court seeking the child’s custody on the basis of order passed by circuit court of Montgomery, Maryland, U.S.A. 
While disposing the Writ Petition filed by the husband, the divisional bench of Hon’ble Justice Vipin Sanghi and Hon’ble Justice I.S. Mehta held that welfare of the child is of paramount importance in such proceedings and that has to be kept above all other factors since this court exercises its jurisdiction as parens patriae.
