(Oral) This appeal has been filed against an order dated 19.1.2011, passed by the District Judge (Family Court), at Bhiwani, declining request of the appellant to get custody of her minor daughter, namely, Bhawna. As per the record, the appellant filed an application under Section 25(1) of the Guardian & Wards Act, 1890 (in short, the Act), to get custody of her daughter, mentioned above. Upon notice, reply was filed. The parties were given opportunity to lead evidence. It is an admitted fact that the appellant was convicted for commission of murder of her wife (mother of the child in question) and is undergoing imprisonment in jail. By taking note of the same, the Court below has rightly rejected application filed by the appellant for custody of the minor child. It has also been found, as a matter of fact, that the child is residing with her maternal grand-father, who is capable of maintaining her in a proper manner and she is getting education in a good school. The maternal grand-father is paying fee of FAO No.7087 of 1995 Rs.700/- per month to the school. It has also been noted that income of the respondent / maternal grand-father of the child is more as compared to the appellant. No case is made out for interference. Dismissed.
