Arathy Ramachandran vs Bijay Raj Menon 2025 INSC 587 - Child Custody
Child Custody - In cases of child custody, the paramount consideration should be the welfare of the child. The utmost sincerity, love and affection showered by either of the parents, by itself, cannot be a ground to decide the custody of a child - Factors: Food: Continued consumption of food procured from restaurants/hotels would pose a health hazard, even to a grown-up person, what to talk of a tender aged child of eight years. The child definitely requires nutritious home cooked food for her overall well-being, growth and development (Para 22)- The periodic division of custody is definitely adverse to the well-being; physical, mental and emotional, of the children. In a long run, this arrangement may prove extremely harmful and may cause irreversible mental trauma to both the children. (Para 26)
The utmost sincerity, love and affection showered by either of the parents, by itself, cannot be a ground to decide the custody of a child.
