NDTV
The court took note of the plea of the mother of the minor child that two properties at Rajkot of her estranged husband be attached.
Taking serious note of the "fraud" played upon it by a Kenyan citizen of Indian origin in a custody battle, the Supreme Court has sought a report from the CBI about the steps taken by it to secure his presence and ensure the transfer of custody of his minor son to his estranged wife here.
The top court also directed the Registrar of Assurances of Rajkot to give details about the rights and interests, if any, held by any other person in two properties of the convicted contemnor Perry Kansagra by October 8 so that it may proceed with their attachment.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Uday Umesh Lalit and PS Narasimha, on July 11, had convicted Mr Kansagra of its contempt for playing "fraud" in securing the custody of his son from his estranged wife and not coming back to the Supreme Court again.
The bench on Friday last reminded the CBI that it was assured that every possible help and assistance shall be extended by the Union agencies and the Indian Embassy in Kenya in securing the presence of Mr Kansagra and his minor son before this court.
