•Hindu Marriage Act Section 9 Writ of habeas corpus Custody of minor child Petitioner is the natural guardian of his minor child But for some bald allegations made against him, there is no reason to be believe that he would not conduct himself as a good and caring father – Divorce and custody battles can become a quagmire and it is heart wrenching to see that the innocent child is the ultimate sufferer who gets caught up in the legal and psychological battle between the parents.
