MUMBAI: The Bombay high court on Monday dismissed a petition filed by a hearing- and speech-impaired woman who sought the immediate restoration of her children's custody from her estranged husband.

Observing that the family court is best suited to rule on the case, a division bench of justices Sarang Kotwal and SM Modak ordered the custody of the children, aged three and four, to remain with their father, citing their medical and emotional requirements.
