Can you seek child custody through a habeas corpus petition? Andhra Pradesh HC explains
The Andhra Pradesh High Court dismissed a father's habeas corpus plea for his daughters. It ruled that writ courts cannot conduct detailed child welfare inquiries. Custody disputes must be resolved under the Guardians and Wards Act. This is especially true when guardianship proceedings are already pending elsewhere. The court emphasized that such matters require a proper inquiry based on evidence.
