BHANU CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.1872 OF 2010 ORDER: This Civil Revision Petition, under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, is directed against the order, dated 31.03.2010, in I.A.No.45 of 2010 in O.P.No.1118 of 2009 on the file of the Judge, Family Court, Visakhapatnam, whereunder and whereby, the petition, under Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, filed by the petitioner/wife seeking permission to visit her minor children, was dismissed. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. In spite of service of notice, none appears for the respondent. 3. Petitioner herein is the wife of the respondent. 4. I.A.No.45 of 2010 is dismissed on the ground that the application is filed two months after the filing of the Original Petition. The delay in filing the application by the petitioner was not accepted by the trial Court. But, that cannot be a ground to dismiss the application. The petitioner filed original petition, under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890, for custody of the Minor Children. That aspect has to be decided in the Original Petition itself. 5. Admittedly, the minor children are in the care and custody of the respondent. On the ground that there was a delay in filing the application, the relief prayed for is not given. Since, the petitioner is none other than the natural mother of the two minor children aged about 8 and 9 years, she has got every right to see her children. Therefore, the petitioner is entitled to see her minor children. 6. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is allowed, directing the respondent to permit the petitioner to see her minor children on every Monday between 9:00 AM and 12:00 Noon, without causing any embarrassment or inconvenience to respondent. The respondent shall produce the children before the trial Court and in the Court premises, the petitioner can as well see and talk with the minor children. There shall be no orders as to costs. _______________ K.C. BHANU, J June 10, 2010 MD
