Habeas Corpus | Weekly Video Access & Mediation Mandated for Non-Custodial Parent in Child Custody Dispute : Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court ordered weekly video calls and an in-person meeting for a mother denied access to her four-year-old daughter for over a year, prioritizing the child's emotional welfare over procedural delays. This sets a precedent for structured parental access in habeas corpus petitions where mediation is viable, reinforcing that custody disputes must not deprive children of meaningful parental bonds.
