Raghunandan Rao) The petitioner has approached this Court, by way of the present Writ Petition, contending that, the children born to her from the 5th respondent, who is her husband, are under the illegal detention and custody of the husband, who is arrayed as the 5th respondent. 2. This Court, had initially issued notice to the 5th respondent. As he was not appearing before this Court even after service of notice, this Court by an Order, dated 16.09.2025, had directed the 4th respondent to produce the children and left it open to the 5th respondent to accompany the children. 3. In pursuance of the directions, the 4th respondent has today produced the 5th respondent along with the children and the petitioner is also physically present in Court. 4. In view of the fact that the 5th respondent, states that, there are marital disputes between the 5th respondent and the petitioner on account of which they have separated. The 5th respondent further states that, he is taking care of both his children and in his absence, when he is away on work, his mother, who is aged about 50 years is taking care of the children. 5. In such circumstances, nothing further survives in the present Writ Petition as the custody of the father over the children cannot be treated to be the illegal custody. However, it would be open to the petitioner to approach an 4 RRR,J & TCDS,J W.P.No.20146 of 2025 appropriate Forum or Court for redress, in relation to her claims of custody over the children. 6. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is closed. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ R.
