yes certainly the father has a strong case to seek for such an arrangement. ask the counsel engaged to make appropriate prayer before the learned court below. if the court dont allow the doors of the high court will always be open. seek advice from high court practicing lawyer. regards, Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, M.Sc (Net), LL.B (University of Delhi), Advocate, Hon'ble High Court, Calcutta.
