This Writ Petition is directed against an interim order passed by the Family Court in an application for custody filed by the respondents herein, that is, grand-parents of the two minor children in question. The application was filed seeking an arrangement for custody of the minors with the respondents during summer vacation. The Family Court issued directions and another Bench of this Court, when the Writ Petition came up for hearing, modified the said order and directed that the children shall be permitted to interact with the grand-parents on four specific dates during vacation. That arrangement has worked, it is submitted. The mid-summer vacation is over also. In these circumstances, we find it absolutely unnecessary to issue any further directions in this Writ Petition. 2. It is however made clear that the dismissal of this Writ Petition will not fetter the rights of the petitioner herein to W.P.(C)No.12390/09 -2- challenge the maintainability of the petition before the Court below or fetter the rights of the respondents to seek appropriate arrangements for custody in future.
