Anjaria, JJ., while addressing an application with regard to the custody of minor children observed that, it is trite law that till the minor children become 6 years of age, the custody ordinarily shall have to be with mother unless their welfare is an issue with the Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the instant petition respondent 4 stated that initially for 6 months, he and the applicant lived together and after being assured of the relationship, she got the marriage registered under the Special Marriage Act.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Twins were born to the applicant, further the respondent 4 alleged against her about having the intimacy with her female classmate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 5\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div

part of the applicant not to have made mention of the application preferred under the Guardians and Wards Act provisions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, the said argument cannot be a bar to file writ petition of habeas corpus.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 9\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<blockquote>\n<p

unless their welfare is an issue with the Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Court further states that it shall not be led by any of the allegations attempting to assassinate the applicant&#8217;s character who dares to shape her life with dignity and self-help after leaving her matrimonial home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hence in view of the applicant&#8217;s position of her having a rented place and running a tiffin service with an earning of Rs 25,000, the right of the children to be maintained by both parents do not go away, the welfare of the children requires their custody to be handed over to the applicant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the custody of children being handed over to the mother immediately, the petition was disposed
