Grave Charges': Jharkhand HC Upholds Punishment Handed To Ex-CISF Officer For Making Caste-Based Remarks Against Subordinate

The Orissa High Court ruled on the application of the doctrine of tender years in child custody disputes. In a case concerning the custody of an infant girl, the Court emphasized that a biological mother has a primary right to custody of her young child, especially under the tender years doctrine, which presumes that young children should be placed in the care of their mothers. The judgment reinforced the principle of the child's best interests, highlighting that emotional bonds with the mother are paramount in custody decisions, particularly when the child is in her early years.
