Cricketer Anil kumble case for his child

After family court granted Kumble custody of child, biological father approached HC questioning the order, which in turn directed issuance of emergency notice to the former cricketer.

The decade long legal battle over custody of a child between Anil Kumble's family and the child's biological father Kumar Jahagirdar continues, as the latter approached the High Court questioning the family court order.

Based on the HC's direction, an emergency notice has been issued to the respondents and the next hearing will be held following their response.

Not eligible: The Family Court earlier rejected Jahagirdar's application stating that he was not entitled to custody on the ground that there was no female member living with him to look after the child.

In his petition, Jahagirdar contended that the family court, over sighted Supreme Court while passing the order dated January 29, 2004. The SC observed that the prospect of the arrival of a second child in the respondent's family is another circumstance, which would be in favour of the child.
