Gurdeep Singh vs State Of Punjab And Others on 23 February, 2026

2. The petitioner-father, Gurdeep Singh, is a law-abiding citizen originally from District Patiala and presently a permanent resident of Denmark, who has approached this Hon'ble Court through his Special Power of Attorney holder seeking issuance of a writ of habeas corpus for production and custody of his minor son, Gursher Singh, aged about 4 years. The minor, a Danish citizen by birth, was residing in Denmark and was under the lawful custody of the petitioner pursuant to an order dated 12.03.2025 passed by the Agency of Family Law, Denmark granting temporary custody to him. It is alleged that respondent no. 7-mother removed the child from Denmark in violation of the said order, fled from a Crisis Centre along with the minor, and brought him to District Patiala, where he is presently being kept in the custody of private respondents no. 5 and 6. Despite representation dated 31.03.2025 to the SSP, Patiala and subsequent proceedings, no effective action was taken for restoration of custody, compelling the petitioner to invoke the extraordinary writ jurisdiction of this Hon'ble Court for recovery of the minor child from alleged illegal detention and for securing his welfare and safety. It is well settled that a writ of habeas corpus in matters relating to custody of a minor child is maintainable and the paramount consideration is the welfare of the child. Reliance is placed upon Mandeep Kaur vs. State of Punjab, 2021 (1) RCR (Civil) 152, wherein it was observed that exercise of writ jurisdiction in habeas corpus matters involving custody of a minor is guided primarily by the welfare of the child and is not confined merely to the question of legality of detention and Neha vs. State of Haryana, 2020 (4) RCR (Civil) 643, wherein it was held that the availability of an alternative ANU 2026.02.24 15:34 I am the author of this document Chandigarh CRWP-11509-2025 (O&M) 3 remedy does not bar the High Court from exercising its extraordinary writ jurisdiction in matters concerning custody of a minor child.
