In Brief
A father sought visitation rights with his child under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. The trial court initially granted visitation on the third Saturday. On revision, the High Court remanded the matter to reconsider the child's interest. The trial court then granted visitation on the second and fourth Sunday. The mother challenged this revised order. The Supreme Court held that the trial court on remand properly focused on the child's welfare and set aside the High Court's revision order, restoring the trial court's visitation arrangement. The Court expressed concern that the father had been unable to visit the child for three years due to pending litigation.
