Writ of Habeas Corpus in Child Custody Cases

Writ of Habeas Corpus in Child Custody Cases usually does not lie in custody  matters however of late there are a lot of cases wherein this particular writ is being filed  . It is also to be borne in mind that when there are statutory laws regarding child custody one should approach the court of competent jurisdiction wherein one can exercise his or her rights for child custody .  In cases that warrant  the exercise of extraordinary discretionary jurisdiction under Article 226 wherein it is shown that  the minor child’s detention is illegal or without legal authority courts have come into the rescue of litigants. What is important to note is there should be illegal detention of the person or has been with someone with unalwful authority.
