Mr.S.D.Rayrikar for the Applicants. Ms.Vaidehi Mhaispurkar for Respondent nos.1 & 2. CORAM : S.J. VAZIFDAR, J. CORAM : S.J. VAZIFDAR, J. CORAM : S.J. VAZIFDAR, J. DATED : 19TH DECEMBER, 2008 DATED : 19TH DECEMBER, 2008 DATED : 19TH DECEMBER, 2008 P.C. : P.C. : P.C. : The contempt is alleged regarding the Respondents having failed to provide access as per the consent terms of the minor child. 2. The Petitioners and the Respondents are the maternal and paternal grandparents respectively of the minor child Nikita, whose parents unfortunately expired when she was very young. The child currently resides with the Respondents. 3. There really is no contempt. In fact, fortunately atleast, as far as the child is concerned, there is no dispute. The child is now : 2 : aged 15 years. I met the grandparents viz. the Petitioners and the Respondents and the child in chambers. 4. Fortunately, both the grandparents are understandably extremely fond of the child and the feelings are reciprocated by her. 5. The Respondents do not appear to be preventing the child from visiting the Petitioners. She explained to me that she was in the 10th standard and therefore had to attend classes/tuitions etc. which keeps her extremely busy. It is for this reason alone that she herself is unable to visit Pune, where the Petitioners reside. She in fact expressed a desire to visit the Petitioners the moment she was able to do so and has requested the Petitioners to visit her in Mumbai so that her schedule is not upset. 6. The child, I am happy to note, has been extremely well to brought up, is very bright, well poised and well mannered. She knows exactly what she is saying and doing. The Petitioners and the Respondents also took an eminently reasonable and understandable view of the matter. : 3 : 7. As I have noted above, there really is no dispute between the parties. The Respondents have not prevented the child from visiting the Petitioners as per the terms. It is not possible in these circumstances to force the child to go to Pune. Indeed, the Petitioners do not desire the Court to do so either. 8. The Contempt Petition is accordingly disposed of. ***
