Petitioner has filed this writ petition seeking release of her grandchildren who are stated to be in the unlawful custody of the third respondent. It is the case of the petitioner that the third respondent abducted the children from the premises of the Family Court, violating the directions of that court. If so, petitioner has got an effective remedy of approaching the Family Court itself for appropriate relief. That being the situation, we are not inclined to exercise our discretionary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed; however, without any prejudice to the right of the petitioner to approach the Family Court for appropriate reliefs. P.R. RAMAN, (JUDGE) K.
