MUMBAI: The metropolitan magistrate's court on Wednesday awarded the custody of Faisal Khan, younger brother of actor Aamir Khan, to his father Tahir Hussain.
Hussain has been granted the ailing actor's custody for one month. The court also said that there was no need for mental examination of Faisal.
Faisal has been asked by the court to appear in Khar police station every alternate day.
Police produced Faisal in the Bandra metropolitan magistrate's court on Wednesday along with the medical report by JJ Hospital.
The report said Faisal suffers from a schizo-affected psychosis (a thought disorder which may affect mood).
"Although he does not need to be in hospital, his custody should be given to a responsible member of the family and he has to visit a doctor twice a month..,'' the report said. It also said Faisal's "insight and judgment continue to be impaired.''
According to psychiatrists, such disorders are subject to periodic relapses and the patient requires follow-up in this department as out patient, preferably fortnightly, and admission when necessary.
Faisal had recently alleged that Aamir had made him a prisoner in his house and was forcing him to take medicines for paranoid schizophrenia although he was perfectly normal.
Aamir Khan was also present in court but preferred not to speak to the media. The family members of Faisal were summoned to the magistrate's chamber, where it is reported that Aamir, his mother Zeenat and his father Tahir Husain, all independently asked to be given custody of Faisal (40).
Aamir told the judge that he had been taking care of his brother and had helped him in his treatment.
It is learnt that Aamir Khan kept mum before the judge when his brother and father were present. Faisal on the hand told his mother Zeenat that he would prefer to go with his father or to JJ Hospital rather than going home with her.
