    The Allahabad High Court granted the habeas corpus petition, ordering Ram Devi to surrender custody of 5-year-old Deepanjali to her biological father, Arjun Singh. The court found Ram Devi had no legal right to the child's custody, as she was unrelated to the minor despite claiming to be the mother-in-law following Deepanjali's mother's death in a 2025 road accident. The court deemed Arjun Singh the lawful custodian, noting his employment capacity and his sister's willingness to assist in the child's welfare.
