New Delhi. Atul Subhash's mother Anju Devi will not get the custody of her grandson, the Supreme Court has rejected her petition. The Supreme Court has clearly said in its order that Atul Subhash's son will remain with his mother Nikita Singhania. However, the top court told Anju Devi that she can appeal in the lower court to demand the custody of the child. Earlier, during the hearing, the court had directed Atul Subhash's wife Nikita to present her minor son through video conferencing. After this, Supreme Court Justice BV Nagarathna and Justice SC Sharma talked to the child and then gave their verdict.

Earlier, in the hearing held on January 7, the Supreme Court had said that the child has spent very little time with the grandmother, hence the grandmother is a stranger to the child. The court had sought information about the condition of the child from Nikita Singhania, wife of Atul Subhash and mother of the child.

After this, Atul Subhash's mother Anju Devi had filed a petition in the Supreme Court demanding the custody of her grandson. He had said that the child's mother and her maternal family were in jail, hence the custody of the child should be handed over to his grandparents.
