----------------------------------------------
Mat.Appeal Nos.81 & 92 of 2022
-----------------------------------------------
Dated this the 11th day of February, 2022
O R D E R
A.MUHAMED MUSTAQUE, J.
These appeals are filed by the father and mother
who are wrangling for the custody of the child. They
impugned the judgment of the Family Court, Pala. The
mother's objection in giving custody to the father, is on
the ground that the child has been sexually abused by the
father. Ettumanoor Police has registered a case as Crime
No.138 of 2022. The CWC, Kottayam is also conducting an
enquiry. Now-a-days we often see many false cases
registered against fathers, in order to deprive them
custody of the child. We don't know whether this is one
of such case. The alarming increase of such cases is
disturbing the conscience of this Court as well. It is
appropriate that the report from the CWC as well as the Mat.Appeal Nos.81 & 92 of 2022
Police is placed before this Court. We direct the CWC,
Kottayam and the SHO, Ettumanoor to place a report
before this Court with regard to the investigation
conducted in this matter.
2. The learned Government Pleader shall obtain
this report through E-mail communication and place
before this Court on 14.02.2022.
3. In the meanwhile, we direct the Family Court to
keep further proceedings in implementation of the
impugned order in abeyance. We also direct to produce
the child before this Court on 14.02.2022. Father of the
child is also directed to be present before this Court
on the same day and mother can join online.
Post on 14.02.2022.
