The evidence can be led only in the lower court where the case has been filed and is pending and not the HC. You cannot circumvent the procedural law. Your case is still pending in the lower court whereas only the interim custody awarded to your husband by the court below has been challenged by you in the HC. You are making assumptions on the basis of your ignorance.

Lower courts are fact finding courts. So it is necessary do the trail in family court . Guardian and wards card are empowered to determine the issue of child custody. Mothers and fathers both have a prominent role to play in supporting the growth and development of their children. The basic opinion of the child and the mother is highly ignored while determining the custody of the child. Family law courts generally base decisions on the best interests of the child or children (welfare of children), not always on the best arguments of each parent.

Children are fragile, handle them with care. If divorce is inevitable, bitter battles cannot be the option to settle issues of child custody and access.The Supreme Court of India has consistently held that in deciding cases of child custody ‘the first and paramount consideration is the welfare and interest of the child and not the rights of the parents under a statute

in the proceedings related to custody and visitation rights of the minor children, the interest and welfare as well as the desire and decision of the minor children is of paramount concern and should not be based on the ego satisfaction of the warring parents.
