JUDGMENT
A.Muhammed Mustaque, J.
This Original Petition was filed aggrieved by an order
directing the petitioner to produce a minor child before the Family Court, Thrissur on every second Saturday in order to enable the respondents to a free interaction with the child.
2. Though notice has been served on respondents, none
appears. The respondents moved an application for interim custody in G.O.P.No.1783/2020. The first respondent is the father and the second respondent is the paternal grandmother. The marriage between the petitioner and the first respondent has been dissolved as per the order in O.P.No.449/2007 on mutualconsent.
3. The child would attain majority on 06.02.2022. The
Date of Birth of the child is 07.02.2004. In view of the fact that the child will attain majority on 06.02.2022, we find no reason to interfere with this matter in as much as that the daughter of the petitioner can decide in regard to her own future. We direct the Family Court, Thrissur to re-schedule the case to the nearest date and pass appropriate orders taking note of the age of the child.
