GIRI, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No. 33389 OF 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 12th day of November, 2008 JUDGMENT The averments in the writ petition reveal that there is a dispute between the petitioner and his wife, the 3rd respondent. There are allegations made against the 4th respondent. Petitioner alleges that considerable sum of money sent by the petitioner from UAE kept in the account of the 3rd respondent has been withdrawn by her without authority. Petitioner has already approached the Family Court, Thiruvananthapuram in OP No. 898/08. Petitioner has now apprehends that the balance amount of Rs.7 lakhs lying in the account of the 3rd respondent will also be withdrawn by her and seeks a direction to the bank authorities to freeze the account. In my opinion, the dispute is obviously one between the husband and wife and the competent bank. The dispute does not come within the purview of the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution. In the result, the Writ Petition is dismissed obviously without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to approach the Family Court for appropriate orders. (V. GIRI, JUDGE) ttb
