Jurisdiction to file gwa case

Dear experts

I want to take custody of my 5 year daughter. She is living with her mother now at her home town.

498a & maintenance cases are already running at her place.


Can i file custody under GWA, at my place or it can be filed only at residence of child ?

Please clarify jurisdiction if any SC judgement or else in this respect

Section 9(1) in The Guardians and Wards Act, 1890
(1) If the application is with respect to the guardianship of the person of the minor, it shall be made to the District Court having jurisdiction in the place where the minor ordinarily resides.
