What is the rule in guardian act as father is present and mother is no more condition and children is minor ?
Shyamrao Maroti Korwate v. Deepak Kisanrao Tekam, (2010) 10 SCC 314;
gaurav nagpal vs sumedha nagpal (2009) 1 SCC 42,
held by the supreme court that "father is the natural guardian of the child after death of mother. It is true that under the 1890 Act, the father is the guardian of the minor child until he is found unfit to be a guardian of the minor."
if you are fit for his guardianship then you will get custody of your children.
father is the natural guardian of child
2) on mother demise custody should be awarded to biological father
3) welfare of child is paramount consideration
4) court can appoint another person as guardian of minor children
the general rule is welfare of child is paramount consideration
father should be awarded custody of the minor children
Opposition party do not give answer and my case extend meaning less, minimum 9 dates passed out but no progress, what should I do ?
1.i am not sure why there is no progress the case even after 15 months.
2. Without knowing the actual case status it is difficult to advise what was the fault.
3.Anyway first engage another advocate to take information and then on next course of action.
4.if it is due to slow act of the court then file petition in high court for expeditious disposal of the case.
5.it is highly improbable that the court would prefer the uncle of the children to the father. So pursue your case through a better lawyer.
1) draw attention of court to fact that OP has not filed any reply although 9 dates have passed
2) last chance be given to respondent to file his reply
you should file a petition before the high court for expedite hearing of the case, high court may fix a time period for disposal of the case. district court cannot give unnecessary adjournment after expedite hearing order is passed by the high court.
