Expressing the court’s inability to hand over the child to his mother, Justice V Ramasuabramanian said: “the case has posed the greatest challenge that I have ever encountered in any of the child custody cases so far.For once, I found myself at my wit’s end at the hands of a nine-year-old boy.”
Out of the wedlock between Vanitha Vijayakumar and Akash, a boy and girl were born. After their divorce, the two fought over custody of the boy in the Madras High Court.
