Child Custody and Guardianship are two different concepts. Child Custody procedures are governed by Section 12 and 25 of the Guardians and Wards Act 1890 while Guardianship Petitions are filed under section 7 and 19 of the Guardians and Wards Act 1890.
The concept of custody deals with the physical possession of a parent over the child while Guardianship declares a person to be the guardian of property or person of minor.
Mother and Father both are natural guardians of a child. If a guardianship petition is filed by one of them against the other then it means that the court has to make one of them eligible for guardianship declaring the other ineligible for same.
Similarly if a custody petition is filed, the court has to determine the welfare of minor and in accordance with that custody can be granted to the parent applying for same or not. For more you can consult lawyergolra@gmail.com
