casestatus.in Summary
In matrimonial disputes involving minor children, courts have both the power and obligation to grant interim visitation rights to the non-custodial parent to prevent parental alienation, independent of pending custody proceedings. Such interim access orders do not prejudice the final determination of visitation rights in substantive custody proceedings under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890. This analysis, available on casestatus.in, reflects the principle that a minor child's welfare requires preservation of parental bonds during pendency of matrimonial litigation.
