This writ petition is filed praying essentially for an opportunity for a father to visit his child. On 4-4-2008 we passed a detailed interim order whereby the father got custody of his minor child Diya Vipin for three days. It is reported that the father has thereafter gone back to USA. Therefore, nothing survives in this writ petition. It is disposed of in terms of the interim order referred to above. (KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE) (HARUN-UL-RASHID, JUDGE) ahg.
