There is no need to file any case. You can just ask your child to reside with you and he can do so if he wishes. Custody cases are filed in respect of minor children and not major ones. A major person is entitled to take his own decisions and choose where he wants to reside.

U Can file petition in tthe court for getting custody of the child,,,,where the child would be called and the court would ask the wish of child. As per his/her wish....the custody would be handed over to the husband/wifewith whom he/she wants to reside.

Forced to say legal IQ of some of the new Advocate’s of Hon’ble SC are now that of less than 5 years old child’s.
Reasoning:-
Settled Law of Family Law Courts in
India defines “legal guardianship” of a child under the age of 18 years.

A child cannot speak for itself. 

Let's honour the right of the child to live with both of its parents.
