You can file a petition under Guardian and Wards Act seeking custody of your grand daughter and you can file petition under this act for obtaining visiting rights of your grand daughter. You have to file this petition before the District Judge of your district.For further help you can contact me through mail.

I do not understand the story properly. However, I wants to say that, the Grandfather or Grand Mother whatever may be have no right to take custody of a grandson or granddaughter if their father or mother i.e., natural guardian is/are alive. But the Court may permit them to visit their grandson of granddaughter occasionally, on humanitarian ground. There is no legal provision in favour of grandfather or grandmother.
