What is this about?
Delhi HC; W.P.(CRL) 460/2026; Manisha Chauhan v. State Govt. of NCT of Delhi & Ors.; 09.02.2026; Navin Chawla & Ravinder Dudeja, JJ.; habeas corpus; minor child custody; Article 226 Constitution; Section 528 BNSS 2023; Section 6 Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act 1956; Family Court guardianship petition pending; alternate remedy; dismissed.
What did the court decide?
Since the petition itself disclosed that respondent no. 2 holds custody of the minor child since 24.07.2025 and a guardianship petition under Section 6, Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 is already pending before the Family Court, the petitioner must avail of appropriate legal remedies rather than multiplying litigation; the Court accordingly found no merit in the writ petition. ¶14
