The Federal Court missed a golden opportunity to answer the long-standing issue of unilateral conversion of children by a parent thrown up by the S Shamala and Dr M Jeyagandesh case.
A lot of child conversion cases were depending on this case to set a precedent to answer the thorny question.
A unanimous decision by the apex court that consisted of five-member panel led by Chief Justice Zaki Azmi (left) allowed Jeyagandesh's application for a preliminary objection that Shamala did not have the right to be heard in court because she was in contempt. Reason being she had fled to Australia with the two children, after the court had earlier granted Shamala and Jeyagandesh joint custody.
Yes, there is another conversion case that received a lot of attention that is Indira Gandhi vs K. Pathmanathan. Needless to say, the 'culprit' in this case, is the father.
