Velamur v. Sanjay
Supreme Court of India2025 INSC 299Bench: To be verified
When expert opinion confirms a child's inability to make independent decisions, custody decisions should not be based on child's implied or express consent. Expert medical assessments must be prioritized over inferences from direct interaction. The child's best interests lie in returning to the US considering established life, education, support system. High Court erred in relying solely on brief interaction with child.
