                                    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.
