In the said G&WC which is filed exclusively for the custody rights of - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:35702 WP No. 18425 of 2025 the child, all these applications will be decided by the Family Court and accordingly, dismissed all the I.As filed by the father. 5. Learned counsel appearing to the petitioner/father submits that the Family Court, ought to have considered these application even in M.C. proceedings also, the Family Court can consider the application for visitation. 6. Learned counsel appearing for the respondent/wife has submitted the arguments in support of the impugned order passed by the Family Court. 7. Having heard the learned counsel on either side, perused the material on record. G & WC. is pending before the Family Court, in that already certain applications are filed. Hence, in those circumstances, the Family Court need not consider these applications. There is no dispute with regard to the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner that even in the MC. proceedings also these applications can be considered, but in the light of the fact that already G & WC is pending and already applications are moved in that. This Court - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:35702 WP No. 18425 of 2025 finds no reason to interfere with the impugned order passed by the Family Court. Hence, this Court is passing the following: ORDER i. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. ii. All I.As., in the writ petition shall stand closed. SD/- (LALITHA KANNEGANTI) JUDGE BN List No.: 1 Sl No.: 30
