Proceedings before the Court

The Supreme Court considered a group of connected civil and criminal transfer petitions and special leave petitions arising from disputes between the parties and related proceedings. The parties asked the Court to resolve the connected matters through a settlement and avoid further litigation.

Settlement and directions

In its judgment dated 22 July 2025, the Court recorded the settlement and issued directions concerning the child’s custody and visitation. It provided for custody with the mother, structured visitation for the father and his family, and dissolution of the marriage in exercise of Article 142 of the Constitution. The order also addressed the disposal or withdrawal of the specified connected proceedings in accordance with its terms.

Subsequent correction

A Supreme Court order dated 28 July 2025 corrected typographical text and added a proceeding to the list of matters referred to in the judgment. It stated that the rest of the judgment remained unchanged.
