In techie Atul Subhash suicide case, the Supreme Court has given the custody of his son to wife Nikita Singhania, accused of abetting Subhash’s suicide along with her family members. A bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and S C Sharma took the decision.
The decision came days after Atul’s mother Anju Devi made a plea in the court to allow her custody of the child, which the court declined. The court, at the time, said that Anju Devi is “virtually a stranger” to the child, and therefore the child’s custody should not be given to her.
Anju Devi had requested the court to grant the custody of his grandchild to her and argued that children of this age should not be sent to a boarding school. To support her arguments, she cited accusations that Nikita Singhania is facing in Subhash’s death case.
