No Home-Cooked Food For 15 Days, Man Loses Custody Of 8-Year-Old Daughter

A separated man lost custody of his eight-year-old daughter for not feeding her home-cooked food.

A Supreme Court bench of Justices Vikram Nath, Sanjay Karol and Sandeep Mehta spoke to the girl before they decided to return her to her mother.

The father, who is a busy professional, could not feed his daughter home-cooked food for even a single day in a whole fortnight, the Supreme Court was told.

Before the matter reached the Supreme Court, the Kerala High Court had allowed the father to see his daughter for 15 days every month.
