    The Punjab and Haryana High Court dismissed a habeas corpus petition filed by the petitioner seeking custody of her 4-year-old daughter, holding that custody disputes between natural guardians are better resolved through the Court of Guardians and Wards rather than habeas corpus proceedings. The court reasoned that while habeas corpus can provide temporary custody relief, it lacks the detailed inquiry into the child's welfare and best interests that is central to guardianship proceedings, and directed the petitioner to pursue the appropriate civil remedy. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
