JUDGMENT
Devan Ramachandran, J.
Even though the petitioner has filed this
Writ Petition asserting to have invoked Article
226 of the Constitution of India, and though he
submits before us that he is seeking the
issuance of a writ of Habeas Corpus against the
respondent to produce his two minor children
before this Court, the prayers sought are rather
ambiguous and non specific, namely as under:
I humbly request the Honorable Court to grant the following reliefs from Ms. Sangeetha, who has engaged in criminal, unethical, and inhumane actions (for which evidence, witnesses, and testimonies are available). My young children are the future citizens of tomorrow, and I cannot allow them to be shaped into future criminals.
1. Regardless of the outcome of 2024:KER:70263 WP(CRL.) NO. 1021 OF 2024
the family court case, I request the permanent custody of my children until the final judgment is pronounced.
2. I request that my children be granted either permanent or temporary custody with me from September 10 to 20, so they can celebrate Onam with their father for the first time.
3. I request that the necessary counseling for my children be arranged either through an authority appointed by the Honorable Court or through a recognized medical practitioner.
4. Given that Sangeetha has previously subjected me to various forms of harassment (including two attempts on my life during evidence collection trips in 2022; physically assaulting my 70-
year-old mother within the court premises; and using her half-brother to trespass and harass my bedridden father at home), I request that police presence be ensured during the transfer and return of my children, to prevent any law-and- order issues and avoid legal complications.
5. I request that my children be 2024:KER:70263 WP(CRL.) NO. 1021 OF 2024
allowed to joyfully celebrate the Onam holidays with my elderly parents, who have been bedridden due to the actions of Sangeetha.
2. Perhaps, we can condone the manner
in which the prayers have been sought because,
the petitioner is appearing in person and is
stated to be one who is not conversant with
procedure.
3. However, interestingly, the
petitioner himself admits that he has filed an
Original Petition, bearing No.OP(G&W)No.23/2022,
before the learned Family Court, Kottarakkara,
seeking permanent custody of his two minor
children; and that he has obtained an order in
I.A.No.20/2024 therein - again filed by him,
seeking their interim custody - on 06.09.2024,
whereby the children have been directed to be
handed over to him by their mother from 9 a.m. 2024:KER:70263 WP(CRL.) NO. 1021 OF 2024
till 4 p.m. on 16.09.2024 and for two days from
10.30 a.m. on 18.09.2024 till 10.30 a.m. on
20.09.2024.
4. Obviously, this Writ Petition,
seeking the issuance of the writ of Habeas
Corpus against the respondent to produce the
children, is not maintainable because, the
petitioner has already invoked his remedies
before the jurisdictional Family Court, as we
have noticed above.
5. Coming to the various other reliefs
sought, they cannot be considered by us either
because, what the petitioner requires is an
investigation into the respondent's affairs qua
their matrimonial disputes; and this is more so
when he unequivocally admits that he has already
obtained a divorce from her through a judgment,
which has now become final.
2024:KER:70263 WP(CRL.) NO. 1021 OF 2024
6. In the afore circumstances, we find
no cause to entertain this Writ Petition,
particularly when the interim custody of the
children has already been ordered to be given to
him by the learned Family Court Kottarakkara, as
mentioned above.
Thus, with the every other liberty
available in law being reserved to the
petitioner, we close this Writ Petition without
any further orders.
