File suit for grant of custody and visitation rights till pending of the suit.
As per the proviso to section 6(a) of the Hindu Minority and Guardian- ship Act, "the custody of a minor who has not completed the age of five years shall ordinarily be with the mother". But the father will have visiting rights.
