Justice J B Pardiwala devised a scene wherein he broke a pencil and then asked a warring couple to glue it together with perfection.

Justice Pardiwala told told them that the way they could not glue the pencil, their relationship would never get normal once they were separated.

Moreover, it would be a shock for their five-year old daughter, whose custody couple were fighting for.

High Court advised couple to make amends because their quarrelling and separation would only be disastrous for their daughter. The judge went on to comment that such sad episodes cause pain to the judge because ultimately he too is a human being.

The woman, who works with an Airline Company, had approached Court for custody of her five-year-old daughter. She told the Court that her husband was a drunkard and a gambler and did not bother about family. Thus she decided to live separately, but her hsuband took the daughter forcibly from her.

High Court has asked the husband to file a reply to wife's claims and allegations, and asked him to bring child along to court on January 31,2017.
