IN RE: PERRY KANSAGRA

Bench: 2 — Uday Umesh Lalit, Pamidighantam Sri Narasimha

In Brief

Perry Kansagra obtained custody of his minor son Aditya from the Supreme Court through fraudulent affidavits and false undertakings, including a purported "Mirror Order" from the Kenyan High Court. He then removed the child from Indian jurisdiction despite solemn undertakings to submit to the Court's authority. The Kenyan order was subsequently dismissed, but Perry concealed this fact from the Court. When ordered to facilitate the child's visitation with his mother, Perry breached all directions and initiated hostile proceedings in Kenya. The Supreme Court found Perry guilty of criminal contempt for making false statements, suppressing material facts, violating express undertakings, and removing the child in violation of Court orders—conduct described as contempt of the grossest kind.
