READ ORDER | Mere 30-Minutes In A Month Granted For Child Visitation To Non-Custodial Parent Is Insufficient: Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court has made a very balanced remark in a child custody case recently. The high court prima facie opined that merely thirty minutes of child visitation rights in a month granted to a parent is insufficient.

A Bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Jasmeet Singh observed,

The grievance of the appellant father is that the Family Court has granted only 30 minutes audio-visual access to the appellant per month in respect of the two twin children who are now aged two and a half years each, which is wholly insufficient. Prima facie, we agree with this grievance of the appellant.

Father Fighting In-Person

The is a case, where the non-custodial parent, Samrat Singh Rawat, is appearing in person. The father appealed to the high court after he was aggrieved by the Family Court order as aforesaid.

He stated that he has twin children, a boy and a girl. However, the Family Court has granted only 30 minutes audio-visual visitation in a month.

Agreeing with the submission that the time allotted for visitation by the Family Court is meagre, the High Court issued notice to the Respondent, Poonam Rawat, mother of the children.

The matter is now listed on January 11.

MDO Take:

• It is refreshing to witness our high courts understanding the importance of both parents in the life of children, even if parents are separated
• A divorce case does not turn a man into criminal or a woman into demi God
• Both parents must be allowed enough time with the children, under the #SharedParenting norms, so that these young minds are raised with a normal childhood, instead of perpetual victimhood fed by custodial parent
