The Supreme Court ruled that a father’s right to visit his child should not come at the expense of the child's health and well-being. In a case involving a custody dispute, the Court emphasized that visitation rights must be balanced with the child's best interests, ensuring that no harm is caused to the child’s physical or emotional state. The ruling reinforces the principle that while parental rights are important, the child’s safety and well-being must be the primary concern in determining visitation schedules.
