    Summary: The Calcutta High Court dismissed Ruma Mandal's writ petition seeking custody of her two daughters residing with their father (respondent no.4). The court held that a writ petition is not the appropriate forum for custody disputes and directed the petitioner to approach the proper civil court with jurisdiction over such matters. The court found that while two of the four daughters live with the mother, the other two reside with the father, and custody issues must be resolved through appropriate legal proceedings. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
