Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 17577/2026 - Smitha v. Syam C.R Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed the petition and upheld the Kerala High Court's custody order. The Court confirmed the father's right to seven-day custody of his two minor daughters (aged six) after depositing his passport with the Family Court, while clarifying that the children must remain in India under the mother's custody and not be taken abroad. Key Directions: The father's passport will be returned only after producing the children before the Family Court upon expiry of the seven-day period, and only upon submission of an affidavit undertaking not to take the daughters outside India. The petition and pending applications stand disposed of. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
