1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION FAMILY COURT APPEAL NO. 130 OF 2009 IN PETITION NO. D-23 OF 2008 Dildar Begum ..Appellant versus Yasmeen Adam Pehelwan w/o. Adam Pehelwan ..Respondent Mrs. Seema Singh for Appellant. Mrs. Veena Gowda for Respondent. CORAM : BILAL NAZKI & S. A. BOBDE, JJ. DATED : NOVEMBER 04, 2009. P.C. : 1. This is an appeal against an order passed by the Family Court granting custody of minor children to the mother. This appeal has been filed by the paternal grand mother of the children. The father of the children is dead. 2. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and with their consent we dispose off this appeal at this stage. 2 3. We do not find any ground to interfere in the order passed by the Family Court granting the custody of the children to the natural mother who is also their natural guardian in view of the fact that the father of these children is no more. However, considering the affinity and love of the grand mother, who is appellant, towards her grand children, we grant her visiting rights and direct that the children be taken to the house of the grand mother on every alternate Sunday in the morning and be brought back in the afternoon. On festival days also the children should be taken for a reasonable period of time to the house of the grand mother. The grand mother also wanted that the children should be allowed to spend vacation with her. Allowing the children to stay with grand mother for a longer period can only be decided after the preference of children is known and therefore we are not passing any direction with regard to this submission. However, the appellant is free to move the Family Court for such a direction. The parties are even at liberty to make some arrangements and adjustments of visiting as the situation may demand. With these observations, the appeal is disposed off. (BILAL NAZKI, J.) (S. A. BOBDE, J.)
