Andhra Pradesh High Court fines mother Rs 50,000 for ‘suppressing’ prior custody pact
The Andhra Pradesh High Court has fined a mother Rs 50,000 for failing to disclose a prior custody agreement when seeking custody of her two young sons. The court rejected the mother's habeas corpus petition, which aimed to trace the children and return them to her custody. The court found that the children were not in illegal custody, as the couple had mutually agreed in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) dated March 26, 2025, that the father would have sole custody.
The mother did not disclose this agreement, leading to the court's decision to impose the fine and order her to deposit the amount in fixed deposits for the children when they turn 18. Despite offering an apology, the court declined to accept it, stating it was not appropriate in this case.
