JUDGMENT
Dated : 21st January, 2021
K.Vinod Chandran, J.
1.Petitioners are the paternal grand parents of two children born in the wedlock of their son and the 2nd respondent. The son of the petitioners admittedly is working abroad. The 2nd respondent is said to have been living with the petitioners in her marital home with the children. The writ petition is filed on the ground that the 2nd respondent along with the children left the matrimonial home and started residing at her parental residence. We do not find any reason to issue a writ of Habeas Corpus because the mother, who alone is in the country and who had the custody of the children, had taken the children and had gone to reside with the parents. If at all there is any dispute between father and mother, it is for such parties to approach the jurisdictional Family Court. We find no reason to entertain WP(Crl).28 of 2021
this Writ Petition seeking a writ of Habeas Corpus by the grand parents.
2.Writ Petition dismissed in limine.
