The Bombay High Court has chastised a father for fraudulently claiming racial prejudice as a reason for illegally transporting his minor daughter from the Netherlands to India last year, during a custody battle with his Dutch wife`s family. A division bench of Justices A S Gadkari and Shyam Chandak delivered an order on Wednesday dismissing the man`s claim of racial discrimination as "completely hollow and a sham plea," citing India`s zero-tolerance policy towards racial discrimination. The court condemned the man`s conduct, claiming that they harmed the image of India and its people, reported PTI.
"India is undoubtedly known for its zero tolerance policy towards racial discrimination. The man has lowered the image of India and its citizens in the view of the petitioner (woman) and her fellow nationals," the court said, per PTI report.
