JUDGMENT
G. GIRISH, J
The learned Public Prosecutor representing the
respondents 1 to 3 submits that the detenue, a child aged 7 years,
is presently at Dubai along with the 4th respondent, his mother.
As per the report of the Station House Officer (SHO),
Valapattanam Police Station, Kannur, the present address of the
4th respondent where the detenue is taken care of is 'Flat No. R06,
Al Othman Building, Frij Murar, Dubai, UAE, PO Box No. 21181'.
2. As per the terms of the agreement between the
petitioner and the 4th respondent in the case before the Family
Court, Thalassery, the petitioner is entitled to have custody of the
child for one day every week while he is in the native place. It is
further provided in the said agreement that the petitioner is
having the option to interact with the child online for ten minutes
every day. The learned Counsel for the petitioner would submit
2025:KER:33230
that all the above conditions of the agreement have been
violated by the 4th respondent. We find that the notice of the 4th
respondent has been returned unserved since she is not at
station.
3. Having regard to the fact that the detenue is presently
under the care and protection of his mother, the 4th respondent,
at Dubai, the petitioner has to workout the further remedies by
way of execution of the Judgment rendered by the Family Court
in the matrimonial issue between the petitioner and the 4th
respondent. It is submitted by the learned Counsel for the
petitioner that as per his instructions, the petitioner has already
moved an application before the Family Court concerned in
connection with the violation of the terms of agreement between
the parties.
4. In the above circumstances, we deem it appropriate to
dispose of this petition with directions to the Family Court,
Kannur, to expedite the proceedings in the violation petition said
to have been filed by the petitioner. In the result, the writ
petition (Crl.) is disposed of as follows:
2025:KER:33230
The Family Court, Kannur, shall consider the petition, if any,
filed by the petitioner in connection with the violation of the
terms of the Judgment in OP No. 284 of 2021 of Family Court,
Kannur, and pass orders thereon as expeditiously as possible.
