A Division Bench of Justice Rajeswaran and Justice Vijayaraghavan said the child-care centre, where Adila was staying now, should hand her over to Embassy officials, who in turn should handover the child to her grandmother Monica Mansour Eisler.
Adila's mother Cecile Denise Acosta (36) was allegedly murdered recently by her estranged partner Martin Manrique, also from Mexico.
The bench said the embassy should facilitate the travel of the child and grandmother to Mexico. After reaching Mexico, Monica should file a separate petition at the Mexican court to retain her custody.
However, during their stay in India if the maternal grandmother wanted to see Adila, then the paternal grandmother should cooperate. The entire movement of the girl in India should be monitored by the Mexican embassy, the bench held.
Police had on April 17 arrested Manrique for allegedly murdering Acosta and disposing the body in a suitcase following a dispute over the issue of custody of the child. (MORE) PTI SSN BN
