XXVIII FILED THEREIN PRODUCED WIDE ANNEXURE-E. THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING IN ‘B’ GROUP, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE LALITHA KANNEGANTI ORAL ORDER Aggrieved by the orders passed on I.A.No.28 in G & WC No.264/2021 dated 29.10.2024 by the II Addl. Prl. Judge, Family Court, Bengaluru, the father is before this court. 2. The parties are referred to as father and mother for the sake of convenience. 3. The family court by orders impugned has directed to appoint the Child Psychiatrist to ascertain the mental well being and emotions of the child. The father, mother and the child were directed to appear before Psychiatrist/Counselor to resolve the dispute. The parties were directed to appear for all the counseling sessions to be fixed by the Psychiatrist/ Counselor in the best interest of the son. Both the parties were directed to behave like responsible parents before the child - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:25054 WP No. 32603 of 2024 psychiatrist and thereby assist to ascertain why the child is not interested to meet and interact with the father. 4. Further, this court had passed interim orders directing the father to meet the child and also directed the parties to appear before the court in the chambers. This court had interacted with the father, mother and the boy. The boy is showing utmost reluctance to meet the father. The boy who is studying in 9th standard is very adamant to meet the father. There could be various reasons for the said attitude of the child towards the father. There may be the influence of the custodial parent or there may be any other reasons. This court is not competent to analyze those reasons and come to a correct conclusion. Probably that is the reason why the family court had directed the parties to go before the psychiatrist to find out the mental well being and emotions of the child. Apart from this, when the father is also aware how the son is behaving with him, why the father is aggrieved by this order, this court is not able to understand. 5. After having interaction with the boy mother and the father, this court is of the view that the order passed by the - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:25054 WP No. 32603 of 2024 family court is a well reasoned order which is required in the facts and circumstances of this case. Hence this court do not find any reasons to interfere. 6. In the light of the above discussion, this court is passing the following: ORDER i. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. ii. All pending I.As., in the writ petition shall stand closed. SD/- (LALITHA KANNEGANTI) JUDGE TS List No.: 1 Sl No.: 29
