It is reported that the said order has been complied with. In the circumstances, both the parties agree that the matter can be closed. 2. Considering the age of the child and also the fact that the petitioner is the natural guardian, the mother of the child, the custody of the child is to be given to the mother.

Both sides agree that the above WP(CRL) NO. 217 of 2007 :-2-: order will be complied with. The writ petition is closed.
