Kidnapping

CAN  A  FATHER  BE CHARGED  UNDER CrPC 363  FOR KIDNAPPING HIS OWN SON WHO IS JUST 2.5 YRS OLD. MOTHER NOT ALLOWING THE FATHER TO MEET WITH HIS SON. IF THE FATHER BY TRICK OR BY FORCE TAKE THE BABY TO HIS OWN HOUSE THEN CASN HE BE CHRGED/ ARRESTED FOR KIDNAPPING HIS OWN SON. IF IT BE  CHARGED THEN WHY CANT THE MOTHER ALSO BE CHARGED FOR FORCEFUL RETENTION OF HER BABY AND NOT ALLOWING HIM TO MEET WITH HIS FATHER. DOES THE LAW HOLD ONLY FOR THE FATHER ?

PLEASE ADVICE.

Father can not be charged for kidnapping of his kid.

Bare reading of se 361 will answer your query, It says taking or enticing an minor out of the keeping of its lawful guardian without consent, Father is considered as lawful guardin hence no cause of action arose.

If the child under the lawful coustody of the mother, if father eitherway taken the child he can be charged under the provisions of penal code. If mother is not the legal custodian of the child, the father cannot be! In a recent judgement mother also can be the legal gurdian of the minor. Wellfare of the chile is prim important

Subhomoy  is this under visitation right?

 

 

If mother  has the lawful custody of the child then yes!...Father will be charged with kidnapping...
