Comity of Courts | Canadian Custody Order Trumps Indian Habeas Corpus Petition for Canadian-Born Child : Calcutta HC
The Calcutta High Court enforced a Canadian court’s custody order, directing the return of a Canadian-born child to Ontario despite a habeas corpus petition filed in India. This ruling affirms that international custody determinations, especially when grounded in shared parenting agreements and child welfare principles, prevail over domestic writ jurisdiction-setting a critical precedent for cross-border family law disputes involving dual-national children.
