     --------------------------------------------------
           Dated this the 19th day of March, 2021

                                  JUDGMENT

A.Muhamed Mustaque, J.

This original petition was filed challenging the

order in I.A.No.842/2019 in GOP No.1900/2017 on the

file of the Family Court, Thrissur. The petitioner is

the mother of the child and the respondent is the

father. Admittedly, the respondent-father is in abroad.

The child is in the custody of the petitioner-mother.

The Family Court, as per Ext.P4 order, directed the

petitioner to show the child to the father of the

respondent between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. of every 1 st and 3rd

Saturdays at Vayanasala in Karikad. Thereafter, the

petitioner-mother filed a petition. That was allowed

and the venue was changed to the Family Court,

Thrissur. Again, the petitioner-mother filed another

petition with a prayer to restrict the visitation right

to the respondent/father of the child alone. The Family

Court in the impugned order itself confined visitation

right to the father of the child and grandparents only.

We do not know why the petitioner has also chosen to

challenge such order. We, therefore, find no reason

to interfere with the impugned order. However, we

direct the Family Court to refer the parties for

mediation on next posting itself.

The Original Petition is disposed of as above.
