The Bombay High Court on Tuesday dismissed a petition filed by a Sri Lankan national seeking custody of his two minor children living in India with his estranged wife, noting that it was in the best interest of the children to continue living here.

A division bench of Justices S S Shinde and Manish Pitale gave its judgment on the petition filed by 49-year-old Chandima Wijesinghe, seeking a direction to his estranged wife to hand over custody of their two minor children to him.
