“I seek the search and production of the minor child before this Court by the Respondent Police Authorities herein and upon production for a direction to hand over the custody of the said child to the Petitioner (Anju Devi), who is the paternal grandmother,” her petition stated.In the case on hand, the father has passed away and the mother has been arrested. Where her grandson is and under whose custody is unknown and so the Court should presume the child’s custody to be unlawful and amounting to illegal detention, her petition observed.As the paternal grandmother of the child, she was best suited to take care of the child now, the petition said. She underlined that she had approached the apex court as she had been left with no other alternative.
