Chambers Saket Court · Delhi High Court · Supreme Court of India

Custody work that begins with the welfare of the child and works backwards into a workable arrangement for the parents.

Indian custody law is governed by the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890, the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 and personal law statutes. The Supreme Court's jurisprudence — particularly Gaurav Nagpal v. Sumedha Nagpal and Roxann Sharma v. Arun Sharma — has firmly established the welfare of the child as the paramount consideration.

The chamber's approach is to begin with a clear written opinion on prospects and risk, agree the strategy in writing with the client, and then execute — with regular briefings and full visibility throughout. Fees are quoted transparently after the initial consultation, with phased and milestone-based billing available where appropriate.
