Judgment text as reported

Amjad Ali VS Additional District Judge, Pattoki S. 25 --- Custody of minor --- Second marriage of parent --- Welfare of minor --- Scope --- Custody of minor was concurrently denied to the father --- Validity --- Second marriage of a female mother is not an impediment for a mother to retain custody of a child if she is otherwise found suitable for custody of the child on the principle of welfare---In the present case, even the petitioner (father of minor) had contracted second marriage and had a daughter from his existing wife; in such a situation, the minor could not be left at the mercy of a stepmother when the petitioner was a police officer who remained on assignments out of his house for most of the time--- More so, the minor was living with the respondent / mother since his birth and had developed deep love and affection with her and was being raised in a cordial and comfortable atmosphere and was being properly educated --- Minor, having been produced before High Court, candidly stated that he wanted to reside and be raised by his mother --- No illegality, infirmity or jurisdictional defect was noticed in the impugned judgments for the reason that welfare of the minor was prime consideration to decide custody matters--- Constitutional petition, being merit-less, was dismissed, in circumstances.
