Chennai boy Prasanna Sankar, now a tech entrepreneur based in Singapore, and wife Dhivya Sashidhar are embroiled in a bitter divorce and custody battle over their nine-year-old son.
Four former SC judges and two former HC chief justices have emphasised need to find 'compassionate solution' and highlighted India’s 'robust' child protection system.
Ministry of External Affairs summoned German Ambassador Philipp Ackermann last week to discuss 'high priority' case of 2-yr-old Indian girl taken from parents over allegations of abuse.
Until the Uniform Civil Code comes into play, varied personal laws for different religions shape some of the most important life events in India, from divorce to death.
In 2 judgments dated 13 June, local family court rejected the parents’ application to return 28-month-old Baby A to them or hand the child to a third party, the Indian Welfare Services.
German child welfare body took custody of Baby A in 2021, alleging sexual abuse & negligence. While criminal case against parents was closed, custody battle is ongoing.
SC directs CBI to help trace Pune-born child and Egyptian father, who allegedly ‘fled’ abroad after a custody fight with the boy’s Indian grandmother and aunt. The mother died in 2019.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
