This writ petition is filed against an interim order passed by the Family Court, Nedumangad in I.A.2268/2008 in O.P. (G&W) 1082/2008, declining to grant interim custody of the child to the father, who is the petitioner herein. 2. According to the petitioner, the child is not being sent to school by the mother. We have gone through Ext.P3 and we find that when the petitioner sought for interim custody of the minor child, the court took a prima facie view that since the child is with the mother, interim custody may be continued with her until further orders. In other words, status quo as on the date of filing of the application was allowed to be continued. 3. This is only an interim arrangement and there is ample opportunity to both sides to agitate their contentions and convince the court since the case is posted to 25.10.2008. It is open to the parties to raise all their contentions before the court below and that authority will bestow WP(C) 29867/2008 :2: consideration on all the aspects of the matter and pass appropriate orders in the application in accordance with law. In such circumstances, we decline jurisdiction at this stage as it is too premature. The writ petition is disposed of as above. P.R. RAMAN, (JUDGE) T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, (JUDGE) knc/-
