The learned Family Court has, vide the impugned order, modified the visitation rights granted to the respondent no.1 to take his daughter home for overnight stay. In the impugned order, visitation rights made by the learned Family Court which includes overnight stay, was made effective from 03.11.2025 till January, 2026 or till arrangement was arrived at between the parties, whichever was earlier. Mr. A. Zhimomi, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as the validity period of the visitation schedule provided in the impugned order dated 03.11.2025 has expired, he would like to withdraw the writ petition and any claim for visitation rights or overnight stay of the minor daughter by the respondent no.1 should be decided afresh by the learned Family Court. The learned counsels for the parties submit that as the interim visitation schedule which is provided in the impugned order dated 03.11.2025 has expired, the learned Family Court would have to decide the issue afresh. On considering the submissions made by the learned counsels for the parties, the present writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty being given to the parties to approach the learned Family Court again, for taking a decision on a new visitation schedule including overnight stay.
