Use this process of argument / evidence before a "wise Court":
1. That NCPCR has not done any study related to effect of single parent custody on children, PAS, child development, child psychology etc.
2. Then proceed to argue that since no such study is available in India, that studies done outside India be considered as expert opinion and evidence. Show studies done in US or other countries about ill-effect of single parent custody, and benefits of joint parenting. Court cannot refuse to look at such studies in that case.[If you don't have those studies compodium then ask me]
3. If they do not still look at it favourably, then say that this is against UN child rights convention, which clearly says that child should have access to both parents whether divorced etc. NCPCR has the mandate to follow United Nations CRC
4. Question NCPCR again if the court does not pass favourable order. NCPCR has budget of 6 cr I think... let's help them utilize it for something useful for children's cause.
Every child has a right of access to even an adultrous wife and drunkard father.
