Calcutta HC: Meeting grandparents can never be detrimental for a child
Kolkata : Meeting grandparents can never be detrimental for a child and should not be stopped, Calcutta high court has observed in a dispute over visitation rights involving a teenager’s estranged parents, reports Srishti Lakhotia.
The court directed the family court to reconsider a Kolkata resident’s application seeking to let his child stay with him and her grandparents during visitation. The girl lives in Delhi and comes to Kolkata to visit her dad. The girl’s father, who filed for divorce in 2019, had made a plea for temporary custody of the child before an Alipore court on April 11, 2023. After the plea was rejected, he moved the high court, which granted him visitation rights during vacations and other occasions. At the time, he lived in a rented accommodation. On Jan 22 this year, he approached the family court stating that he wanted to move back to his parents’ house as he was unable to pay the high rent, and wanted his daughter’s visitations to be allowed at her grandparents’ house. The family court, however, rejected the plea and ordered that the girl was no longer required to visit Kolkata.
