JUDGMENT
Dated this the 7th day of April 2021
A.MUHAMED MUSTAQUE, J
This matter is related to interim custody of the minor
child. The petitioner is the mother. She challenges Exts.
P7 and P8 orders. By Ext.P7 order, the Family Court
allowed visitation right to the mother on all Wednesdays
and Saturdays between 10 am and 1 pm at the premises of the
father till the disposal of the original petition. By
Ext.P8 order passed in the application filed by the father,
the mother was restrained from taking custody of the child
forcefully.
2. We interacted with the parties. The child is not
familarised with his own mother. The mother left the
company of the child two years ago. In such circumstance,
the Family Court is justified in giving the visitation
right to the mother as per Ext.P7 order. However, we are
of the view that, the order shall be in operation only up
to three months. Thereafter, the Family Court can consider
whether the interim custody of the child can be given to
the mother or not. This judgment shall not preclude the
Family Court in reviewing the visitation rights granted to O.P.(FC).No.144/2021
the mother as above. No further directions are required in
this matter, in view of the judgment as above.
Accordingly, this O.P.(FC) is disposed of.
