Child custody case can be filed in Mumbai (if it is the place where your child ordinarily resided). You can file a seperate application for your child custody under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890...

You can file the case in Family Court at Mumbai itself since your place of residence is at Mumbai. And yes, you can definitely included the case of child custody in the same petition of Restitution of Conjugal Rights.

Well, you have to file the cases for Restitution of Conjugal Rights under Sec 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act and for seeking Child Custody separately. These issues are different and cannot be covered under the same case. Both these cases for Restitution and Child Custody, you can file in Mumbai separately.
