Petitioner is a Christian woman with a minor child aged two years. According to the petitioner, her child is sick and needs continuous attention of the mother. Her husband died. It is her case that respondents 5 and 6 want custody of the child and at their instance police is harassing the petitioner. 2. It is submitted by the Government Pleader, on instructions, that on getting a complaint they gave an opportunity to the grandparents to see the child and police will not harass the petitioner. If respondents 4 and 5 want custody of the child, it is for them to approach the Family Court for appropriate remedies instead of police. Recording the submission that police will not harass the petitioner, this writ petition is disposed of. J.B.KOSHY ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE V.GIRI JUDGE tks
