In the High Court for the States of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh. FAO No. 292 of 2010 (O&M) Decided on January 25,2010. Harbhajan Kaur and another Appellants vs. Devinder Kaur and another -- Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr.Deepak Arora,Advocate, for the appellants Rakesh Kumar Jain, J, This appeal is directed against the order dated 03.12.2009 passed by learned Guardian Judge, Gurdaspur, on an application filed by respondent No.1 Devinder Kaur, who sought custody of her minor daughter Jashanpreet Kaur aged 2 years and 2 months invoking the provisions of Section 25 of Guardian and Wards Act,1890 (for short,'the Act'). In brief, facts of the case are that respondent No.1. Devinder Kaur is the widow of Raj Kanwal Singh, who died on 07.8.2006 fighting with terrorists in the operation “ OP Rakshak” in Jammu & Kashmir. The respondents are father, mother and brother of her husband, who had forcibly taken away minor Jashanpreet Kaur on 07.10.2006. The learned Court below after taking into consideration the evidence led by the parties, concluded that minor Jashanpreet Kaur should remain with the respondent, who is the natural mother and has not remarried after supreme sacrifice by her husband. She has received monetary benefits after the death of her husband, is getting family pension FAO No. 292 of 2010 (O&M) -2- and she is in a position to maintain herself and the minor child. All that has been said is that respondent No.1. has never looked after the child through out and she is not in a position to maintain her as the welfare of the minor child is of paramount consideration. After hearing the learned counsel for the appellants, I am of the view that neither any substantial ground has been taken in the appeal nor it has been argued before me which could compel this Court to tinker with the impugned order. Hence, I do not find any merit in the present appeal and the same is hereby dismissed in limine. January 25,2010 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) RR Judge
