The High Court observed that if the mother had filed the case for herself and her minor daughter, no controversy would not have arisen in the first place.
However, it noted that even though the daughter was a minor when she filed the application, she had attained majority by the time the Magistrate passed its order in 2018.
“The petition on the date of filing was a mere irregularity and on the daughter becoming a major, the petition was regularized. And it happened before the final order was passed by the Magistrate,” the judge noted.
