BANGALORE: In an interesting case, the Karnataka high court has passed an order sharing the custody of minor child equally between the father and the mother in a year.
As per the modified order passed by a division bench comprising Justice N K Patil and Justice B Manohar, the father will keep the child with him from January 1 to June 30 and the mother will take care of the child from July 1 to December 31, till their son attains majority.
The court has also directed both the father and mother to maintain education and other expenditures of their son in equal proportion. Both have been given visitation rights on Saturday and Sundays. The minor child has to be allowed to use telephone or video cconference with the father and mother as the case may be. The bench was of the view that the father's love and affection has a powerful impact on the development as well as the health of the child apart from the love and care of the mother.
KM Vinaya, the mother, had challenged the December 1, 2011 order of a family court in Bangalore city wherein her husband BR Srinivas was granted the custody of their son, 12 and half year old Vathan.
