The father had been denied access to his child in India. The child had been brought back to England through wardship proceedings. He resisted an application by the mother to take the child to India for a temporary stay. The mother appealed an order granting residence to the father.
Held: The judge had found the mother ‘less than candid’. She had shown herself to be untrustworthy and wanted to remove children from the jurisdiction in such a way that the father might be refused contact, it was proper to award the father residence and to order contact for the mother. The judge’s exercise of his discretion should not be disturbed.
