Custody clash ends in courtroom shock: Madras HC orders shelter home stay for teen; she jumps from 1st floor minutes later

Upset by a Madras High Court order to be sent to a government home, a 14-year-old girl attempted to escape by jumping from the court’s first floor. The court’s decision stemmed from the girl’s reluctance to live with either her divorced father or mother, and concerns about her safety with her mother in the Andamans.
