Judgment Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J. The petitioner says that his minor children are illegally detained by their mother and father-in- law. The parties are litigating before the Family Court. The said court is stated to have issued certain directions. The Family Court is not a toothless institution as it appears to be assumed by the petitioner. Merely because the Family Court's orders are disobeyed by a particular party, the writ jurisdiction need not be exercised. The Family Court would be well within its jurisdiction to issue further orders and secure compliance of its directions, if the petitioner moves that Court. Hence, without prejudice to the petitioner's right to seek WPCR47/10 -: 2 :- further relief from the Family Court in accordance with law, this writ petition is dismissed.
