#Guardians and Wards Act 1890

Allahabad HC held mother, as natural guardian under Guardians and Wards Act, 1890, entitled to custody when access is denied, overturning Family Court’s refusal and granting her custody visitation for paternal grandmother for child welfare.

Allahabad HC holds child welfare paramount in habeas corpus custody; grants father custody with structured maternal visitation despite mother's unwillingness.

Bombay High Court rules that a guardianship appointment under the Guardians and Wards Act 1890 is void if obtained through fraudulent marriage or suppression of material facts, such as the ward's mental incapacity. The judgment reinforces the duty of utmost good faith in guardianship proceedings, impacting family law and property disputes involving vulnerable adults.
