Dr Rukhsana<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/91MXP2yQ\">(2001) 5 SCC 247<\/a>, and it was held that in a habeas corpus petition seeking transfer of custody of a child from one parent to the other, the principal consideration for the Court would be to ascertain whether the custody of the child can be said to be unlawful or illegal and whether the welfare of the child requires that the present custody should be changed.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Maintainability of Habeas Corpus Petition<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The question of maintainability of habeas corpus petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for custody of a minor was examined in <em>Tejaswini Gaud v. Shekhar Jagdish Prasad Tewari, <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/PmzdjJ0A\">(2019) 7 SCC 42<\/a> and it was held that the petition would be maintainable where detention by parents or others is found to be illegal and without any authority of law and the extraordinary remedy of a prerogative writ of habeas corpus can be availed in exceptional cases where ordinary remedy provided by the law is either unavailable or ineffective.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">High Court stated that the exercise of extraordinary jurisdiction for issuance of a writ of habeas corpus would, therefore, be seen to be dependent on the jurisdiction fact where the applicant establishes a prima facie case that the detention is unlawful.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Only where the above-mentioned jurisdictional fact is established the applicant would become entitled to the writ as of right.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further, the Bench added that the role of the High Court in examining cases of custody of a minor, in a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, would have to be on the touchstone of the principle of <em>parens patriae jurisdiction <\/em>and the paramount consideration to be the welfare of the child.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the present matter, petitioner 2 was of the age of 6 years and under the exclusive care and custody of his mother since the time he was an infant of about 2 years of age.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Custody with Mother: Lawful or Unlawful?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">High Court stated that, the private respondent was none other than the biological mother of the minor child.
