BHAVADASAN, JJ. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.P.(Crl.) No. 88 OF 2009 - S ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 11th day of March, 2009 JUDGMENT Basheer J. Petitioners are stated to be grand parents of two minor children Jighosh and Joshiya born in the wedlock of their son Lawrence with Valsala. Petitioners contend that they are worried about the safety and well being of the two children. According to the petitioners, the whereabouts of second child Joshiya are not known for the last few months. 2. Admittedly, the two minor children were born in the wedlock of petitioners' son with Smt. Valsala, who is no more. Petitioners have stated in the writ petition that their son had allegedly committed murder of Smt. Valsala. Any how, we do not propose to deal with the above allegation. 3. When the writ petition came up for consideration on 4th March, 2009, we had requested the learned Government Pleader to get instructions from respondent No.2. Learned Government Pleader submits that the enquiry made by respondent No.2 reveals that elder son Master Jighosh is studying in 8th standard in St. Vincent English Medium School, Pala and second WP(Crl.) 88 of 2009 : 2 : child Joshiya is studying in 5th standard in St. Sebastian School, Nellikunnu. It is further revealed that custody of the children was entrusted by the court to the parents of deceased Valsala, who in turn had put the two children under the care and custody of the two institutions referred to above. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that in view of the information received through police, petitioners do not intend to pursue the matter any further. The writ petition is closed. A.K. BASHEER, JUDGE P. BHAVADASAN, JUDGE kmd
