This original petition was filed challenging an

interim order, pending custody of the minor child

before the Family Court, Irinjalakuda. The

petitioner herein is the mother and the respondent

is the father of the child. The child is 13 years

directed to give the interim custody of the minor

child to the respondent herein from 4 p.m. on every

Friday till 10 a.m. on the succeeding Monday.

2. The petitioner submits that the direction

to return the child on Monday morning may adversely

effect the education of the child. The petitioner

has no objection in modifying the order to the

effect that the child is returned Sunday evening at

5 p.m.

is submitted that the child is only 13 years old and

if the direction as such is complied with, it will

not affect the studies of the child.

4. Taking note of the overall facts and

circumstances, we are of the view that the impugned

order can be modified by directing the respondent to

return the child at 5 p.m. on every Sunday.

Accordingly, the impugned order is modified to the

effect that the respondent will be entitled for the

custody of the child from 4 p.m. on every Friday

till 5 p.m. of the ensuing Sunday. The handing over

and return of the child shall be at the office of

the Family Court.

This original petition is disposed of as above.
