p. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK W.P.(C) No.2485 of 2026 Darshana Patra …. Petitioner Mr. R.N. Mohanty, Advocate -versus- Jagadish Kumar Patra …. Opp. Party CORAM: JUSTICE MRUGANKA SEKHAR SAHOO Order No. ORDER 30.01.2026 (Hybrid Mode) 01. 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner wife and mother of a minor child is before this Court. The opp. party is the husband in the marriage. Under challenge is the order dated 12.12.2025 passed by the learned Judge, Family Court in C.P. No.36 of 2025. 2. The C.P. was filed seeking custody of child by the opp. party-husband in the marriage, father of the minor child now aged about six years. The order under challenge was passed in the I.A. granting interim custody as well as visitation and contact rights to the father. p. 2 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner-mother was heard at some length. It is fairly submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that regarding interim custody, the mother does not have grievance, but regarding the timing and other aspects like the days/dates on which the father will visit with the minor child, the mother has some difficulties as she is working as Assistant Professor in SOA University. Her duty hours as well as availability would come in the way as the child being aged about six years remains with her and also requires her constant care and attention. 4. In view of the limited grievance that is raised in the present writ application, the writ application is disposed of without issuing any notice to the opp. party. In considered opinion of this Court, the opp. party who is the petitioner in the C.P. as well as in the I.A. would not be prejudiced also in any manner, by the order that is going to be made. 5. The petition is disposed of directing that the present petitioner, if so advised, shall approach the learned Judge, Family Court, Bhubaneswar by filing appropriate application bringing into the notice of the learned Court regarding the difficulties that she faces. Upon filing of such petition, the learned Court shall deal with the same in accordance with law after giving due opportunity of hearing to all the parties. p. 3 6. The writ petition is disposed of. Urgent certified copy be issued as per Rules. (Mruganka Sekhar Sahoo) Judge Rajesh/radha
