The present article is about the ‘best interest of child’ also termed as ‘welfare of child’. In this article its meaning, significance and ambit has been discussed. The various legislations pertaining to child custody which are founded on this very principle has also been explained. The concept is loud but yet undefined in statutes. The judiciary has made an attempt time and again to define this concept by including different facets of welfare concerning the child in the ambit of the definition of best interest of child’. But it has become an unruly horse which runs at the mercy of judiciary only.
