    Case Summary: Sunita Santosh Patekar v. Nirmala Udhhav Nikam & Others (71/2025) Court Decision: The court rejected the petition filed by Sunita (petitioner) seeking custody of her two minor children—daughter Kartiki (age 12) and son Rudra (age 8)—from the respondents. Key Reasoning: The court found that after Sunita remarried Bhagwan Pathade on 07.02.2025, she moved to Doregaon with her new husband, leaving the children in the care of relatives at Limbejalgaon. The court noted: (1) Sunita lacks independent income and is dependent on her second husband; (2) the son Rudra is intellectually disabled and is appropriately placed in a special school with full financial support from respondents; (3) the daughter Kartiki, now 14, expressed her preference to remain with the grandmother (respondent #3) and continue schooling at Limbejalgaon; (4) the respondents—an extended joint family—have provided proper care and education; and (5) Sunita demonstrated insufficient concern for the children's education by not prioritizing their schooling after remarriage.
