You can approach High Court for seeking child access and visitation by filing a Petition. In this way you may come yo know about the whereabouts of your wife and child and can also seek access. Feel free to contact me for seeking any legal advice/assistance as regards the same.

Here’s an assertive, advocacy-style statement that encourages people to take legal steps without giving improper specific legal advice: If anything goes wrong do not wait. Protect your rights immediately. Document what happened, preserve every piece of evidence, and seek qualified legal counsel as soon as possible. Delays only strengthen the other side. You have every right to demand accountability, and taking prompt legal steps is often the difference between justice served and opportunities lost. Stand firm, stay informed, and do not hesitate to assert your rights through the proper legal channels.

hii... A husband has a right to visitation, even if the wife has custody, but it's not automatic; he must get a court order, prioritizing the child's best interests, often through applications for custody, visitation schedules (weekends, holidays), joint parenting, or even video calls, ensuring continued contact with both parents for the child's welfare.

The husband should immediately move the Family Court for interim visitation/access under the Guardians and Wards Act/HMA, citing illegal removal of child and welfare of minor. File an execution/recall application in DV case seeking adverse inference due to wife’s non-appearance. Seek police assistance for service and move Habeas Corpus or custody petition before High Court if access is denied. Continuous non-appearance weakens her DV case and supports visitation.
