NO. 276 OF 2007 ---------------------------------------------- Dated , 29th November, 2007. JUDGMENT Raman, J. The petitioner is the husband of Smt. T.R.Krishnaveni who is the brother of 3rd respondent. In the wedlock three children were born to them. Admittedly, his wife left him, some times in 2000. This writ petition is filed in 2007 alleging that the petitioner's wife is under the illegal custody of 3rd respondent, her brother. The long delay in filing this Writ Petition is not satisfactorily explained. Further, there is nothing produced to show that she is kept under illegal custody and against her wish. The petitioner has not produced anything to show that he approached the police at the first instance if the complaint raised is true. It is open to the petitioner, if so advised, to seek proper remedy in the Family Court or any other forum. Leaving open this right, the writ petition is dismissed. P.R.Raman, Judge. V.K.Mohanan, Judge. kvm/- CR 2 kvm/- V.K.MOHANAN, J. No.... Judgment/Order Dated: CR 3
