 OP (FC) No.259/2022             2

                           JUDGMENT

A.Muhamed Mustaque, J.

This original petition was filed challenging an order declining interim custody during vacation. In fact, the matter gained the attention of this Court in an earlier round of litigation. The petitioner was given visitation rights between 10 am to 12 pm on every second Saturday.

The petitioner-father is residing at Kollam and the respondent-mother is residing at Thrissur.

Taking note of the distance as well as taking note of the age of the child, the Family Court declined vacation custody other than visitation rights. We are not inclined to interfere with the order. However, we direct the Family Court to refer both parties for mediation if they have not been already referred in the next posting itself.

The original petition is disposed of as above.
