IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH F.A.O. No. 17 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 5.1.2011 Ramesh Lal .. Appellant v. Parveen ..Respondent. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Surinder Sharma, Advocate for the appellant. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Challenge in the present appeal is to the order passed by the learned court below, whereby custody of a minor girl child has been directed to be handed over to the natural mother from the father. The marriage of the parties was solemnised on 22.1.2004. A girl child was born on 2.10.2004. On account of some differences, the parties could not live together. The mother filed a petition seeking custody of the child in which the learned court below directed to the appellant-husband to hand over the child to the mother considering the age of the child and also the fact that the claim of the appellant was that at his home, the child was being taken care of by his mother, who is more than 70 years of age. Considering the fact that custody of the minor girl child, aged 6 years,has been directed to be handed over to the natural mother, I do not find any reason to interfere with the impugned order. Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed. ( Rajesh Bindal ) Judge 5.1.2011 mk
