This writ petition is filed against Ext.P4 interim order passed by the Family Court regarding the custody of the minor child born to the petitioner in the respondent. As per the impugned order the petitioner father was given permission to see the child for one hour during the second and fourth Saturdays of every month. It is submitted that the petitioner is presently employed in Chennai. Since the main petition regarding custody is pending before the Family Court it is only appropriate that the Family Court disposes of the main petition without further delay. Accordingly the writ petition is disposed of directing the Family Court, Thiruvananthapuram to dispose of O.P. (G & W)No.999/2007 within a period of nine months from today. It is made clear that we have not expressed any opinion regarding the merits of the case and it will be open to the parties to take all available contentions before the Family Court.
