JUDGMENT :
Manish Pitale, J.
The petitioner is seeking a writ of habeas corpus for a direction to the respondents, particularly, respondent No.2 to produce minor child born out of the marriage between the petitioner (husband) and respondent No.2 (wife) and further direction for handing over the minor child to the petitioner for being taken back to the United States of America (USA). Admittedly, the minor child is a citizen of USA. This is another case of discord in the matrimonial life of husband and wife, leading to one parent i.e. respondent No.2 – wife taking the minor child from foreign jurisdiction (USA) to India, without the consent of the petitioner
