The Bombay High Court recently gave custody of the 14-year-old son of a couple, who have been fighting for a divorce, to his father. The Sessions Court had earlier given custody to the father, but the mother moved the High Court for it.

A senior civil lawyer had married a school teacher 21 years ago. They have two sons, one is an engineer, 20, while the other studies in Std IX. The mother had moved the High Court saying the father was a lawyer, and after school, he would take their son to his office. This, she claimed, was hampering his academics.
