Court In Area Where Minor Ordinarily Resides Has Jurisdiction U/S 25 Guardians & Wards Act

Case: Abhishek Rajput v Smt. Pooja Rajput & another

Coram: Chief Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice RC Khulbe

Case No.: APPEAL FROM ORDER NO. 224 OF 2022

Court Observation: “Since the minor is studying at a school in Mohali, it is that place where he is ordinarily residing. It does not matter whether the minor is residing at the said place only for a few months before the filing of the petition. What is relevant is the nature of residence, i.e., whether it is continuous and on a permanent basis, or it is only a casual visit. Since the minor child is studying at Mohali, it cannot be said that the child is making only a casual visit to Mohali.”
