HARI RANI, JJ. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P.(C) No. 37048 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this the 22nd day of December, 2009 JUDGMENT The challenge is against Ext.P10 order, under which the Family Court, taking cue from the earlier direction issued by this Court, had directed, subject to conditions that the children be handed over to the respondent/father on 24-12-2009 till 2-1-2-010. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that it was omitted to be brought to the notice of the Family Court that there is a function in the family - betrothal ceremony of the maternal uncle of the children on 26-12-2009 at Shornur. Appropriate modification may be made, it is prayed. 2. Even though there are other objections also raised, we find no merit in such objection raised by the petitioner. We feel that the Family Court has made necessary provision to allay all such apprehensions. We are satisfied that the order passed by the Family Court need be modified only to the following extent:- 3. Accordingly : a) This writ petition is allowed. b) The impugned order Ext.P10 shall stand modified to the following limited extent:- W.P.(C) No. 37048/09 2 i) The respondent/father shall take both children to his temporary custody on 27-12-2009 at 12 noon from the house of the appellant/mother. ii) He shall return the children at the house of the appellant/mother on 3-1-2010 at 6 p.m. R.
