IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA APPEAL FROM ORDER NO. 106 OF 2007 MRS. NATIVIDADE ELEUTERINA FERNANDES ... Appellant Versus SHRI. SEBASTIAO BOTELHO ... Respondent Mr. Joseph Vaz, Advocate for the Appellant. Mr. G. Teles, Advocate for the Respondent. Coram:- N. A. BRITTO, J. Date:- 23rd September, 2008 P.C.: Heard learned Counsel on behalf of both parties. 2. The petitioner and the respondent are the parents of Natasha, a girl of about 6 years of age, who is presently studying in Mary Immaculate High School at Panaji. She resides with her father at St. Cruz. The mother is presently residing at Margao. A divorce suit filed by the respondent is pending trial. By the impugned order dated 21/07/2006, the application for custody of the child filed by the mother was dismissed. The matter was referred for mediation but it was unsuccessful. Considering that the child is with the father for the last 3 to 4 years and is studying in Mary Immaculate High School and further considering that she has to attend Sunday school/cathecism classes, following order is made: The custody of the child shall continue with the respondent until further orders. After school hours on Saturday, the petitioner/mother shall collect the child from the school and the child shall be in her custody till Sunday morning when the child shall be brought to the Church, to enable her to attend catechism classes. During vacations, the child shall spend equal number of days with her respective mother and father, the first half to be spent with the mother. This is on the assumption that the mother will continue to have her residence at Margao/Panaji without going abroad where she was working. 3. The appeal is disposed of on the above terms with no order as to costs. N. A. BRITTO, J. NH
