The Bombay High Court in Mumbai has raised concerns over a mother's possessiveness in a child custody dispute, which has led her to deny the father access to their child, contrary to previous court orders. The division bench, comprising Justices Bharati Dangre and Manjusha Deshpande, noted that the love and presence of both parents are crucial for a child's healthy development. They expressed discontent with the child's referral to a psychologist, suggesting that if both parents had been involved, such measures might not have been necessary. The court highlighted that the mother's actions could instill negative feelings in the child towards his father. The court reinstated the father's right to see his son every Sunday and allowed him extended access during the summer vacation. The court also indicated that future hearings would aim to create a joint parenting plan, ensuring that the mother maintains contact with the child during his time with the father.
