DEHRADUN: A mother from Uttarkashi has sought Uttarakhand high court's intervention to regain custody of her daughter (8), who is currently in the care of her father and grandparents. The woman claims that the child is being kept unlawfully and has raised concerns about the father's capability to care for their daughter, as he struggles with drug and alcohol addiction.
The high court bench comprising Justice Alok Kumar Verma and Justice Vivek Bharti Sharma directed Uttarkashi SHO to retrieve the child from the grandparents' custody and produce her in court, along with the grandfather, at the next hearing at 10.30am on October 24.
