The Karnataka High Court has rejected a petition from a mother challenging a family court's decision that granted her estranged husband unsupervised visitation rights with their four-year-old daughter. Justice Dr. K Manmadha Rao stated that the arrangement serves the child's welfare and does not require interference. Initially, the family court allowed visitation under supervision, but later modified it to unsupervised visits twice a month from 10 am to 6 pm.
