CASES** 10 ## **O R D E R** A.Muhamed Mustaque, J. These matters are related to custody of the minor child born in the wedlock between Shruthi and Sujesh Pachiriyan. ## R.P.J.J.Nos.9 & 10 of 2021 3. R.P.(J.J.) No.9 of 2021 is filed by Shruthi challenging an order of the Child Welfare Committee, Kasaragod. The Child Welfare Committee passed an order, handing over the child to the mother of Shruthi. Sri.Sujesh, the husband of Shruthi, also filed R.P.(JJ) No.10 of 2021 challenging the order of the Child Welfare Committee, the very same order challenged by Shruthi. We shall advert to both revisions filed by Shruthi and Sujesh before considering the matter further. 4. The child is now admittedly in the custody of the mother. The impugned order appears to have been **CRL.MC NO. 1160 OF 2021 & CONN. CASES** **==> picture [12 x 9] intentionally omitted <==** passed without affording an opportunity of hearing to both Shruthi and Sujesh. The Child Welfare-Committee can pass an order granting custody to foster parents only in circumstances where either of the parent, found to be incapacitated to provide care and protection to the child. 5. Now, it is admitted that, Sujesh has filed a petition for custody before the Family Court, Kasaragod. It is appropriate that, the Family Court, Kasaragod decide the matter in regard to custody, and to pave the way for such consideration, we quash the orders impugned in both revisions. Crl.M.C.No.1160 of 2021 6. This Crl.M.C is filed by the parents of Shruthi challenging the proceedings initiated against them under the Domestic Violence Act in M.C.No.13 of 2021 on the file of JFCM-I, Hosdurg. Shruthi filed a petition under Section 12 of the Protection of Women **CRL.MC NO. 1160 OF 2021 & CONN. CASES** **==> picture [13 x 9] intentionally omitted <==** from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. Essentially, the prayer as against her parents, is to produce the child before the Court and to grant custody to her. She also has complained against physical and mental harassment meted out to her by her parents. Shruthi filed an affidavit in R.P.(J.J.) No.9 of 2021, stating that she has no complaint against her parents. She also stated that, she is no longer interested to stay with her parents. She further stated that she has no objection in closing the proceedings against her parents pending before the Station House Officer, Hosdurg and Superintendent of Police, Kasaragod. Recording the above, we quash the proceedings in M.C.No.13 of 2021 of JFCM-I, Hosdurg as against the petitioners. ## O.P.(F.C).No.99 of 2022 7. This petition was filed for an early disposal of the divorce petition filed by Shruthi pending before the Family Court, Kasaragod as O.P.No.406 of 2021. In **CRL.MC NO. 1160 OF 2021 & CONN. CASES** **==> picture [13 x 9] intentionally omitted <==** the light of the judgment of this Court in **Shiju Joy v. Nisha [2021 (2) KLT 607],** the Family Court is directed to dispose of the early hearing petition filed by her at the earliest. The Family court shall dispose of the case strictly following the guidelines in the above judgment. ## O.P.(F.C).No.156 of 2022 8. This original petition was filed challenging an interim order passed by the Family Court. The order reads thus: “Petitioner appeared. Respondent No.1 entered appearance. Counsel appeared for both respondents. Heard. Respondents shall not remove child from the house until further order. Posted for appearance of spouses for counselling......” 9. This order appears to have been passed in the light of the order passed by the Child Welfare Committee. We are of the view that, the Family Court shall pass appropriate orders on the interim custody, at the ## **CRL.MC NO. 1160 OF 2021 & CONN. CASES** **==> picture [13 x 9] intentionally omitted <==** earliest, after hearing both parties. The Family Court is directed to pass an order on interim custody within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is undertaken by the counsel for Shruthi that, the child shall not be removed beyond the State of Kerala, till an order is passed by the Family Court on interim custody. These matters are disposed of as above. Sd/- **A.MUHAMED MUSTAQUE, JUDGE** Sd/- **SOPHY THOMAS, JUDGE** AS **CRL.MC NO. 1160 OF 2021 & CONN.
