Whether it is permissible to Hand over child custody to an institution ignoring parent’s claim?
We find no justification whatsoever in the High Court handing over the custody of the child to the institution, where the child is admitted for education,on the affirmation by the institute itself, that it would look after the child, as also, not charge any fee from the child. The handing over of custody to an institution, while ignoring the claim of a parent, especially the mother of the child, is not acceptable.
