2. Heard the submission of the learned counsel for the parties.

3. Both parties appeared before this Court. On enquiry, it reveals that the respondent/mother of the child used to take the child from the home of the revision petitioner and she complied with the order as directed by the court and there is no violation on her part. Since, the respondent complied with the order without any deviation, the Civil Revision Petition as such is not acceptable one for the reasons that child is aged about 7 years. As a mother, the respondent is entitled to visit child. Therefore, the objection raised to that effect is not sustainable. Even the application filed by the petitioner by invoking Order 39 Rule 1 & 2 of CPC as such, is not acceptable one. Therefore, the reason assigned by the Trial Court requires no interference.

4. The Civil Revision Petition as such is not acceptable one for the reasons that child is aged about 7 years. As a mother, the respondent is entitled to visit child. Therefore, the objection raised to that effect is not sustainable. Accordingly this Revision Petition is dismissed. Further, the Trial Court is directed to dispose of the O.P within a period of 8 weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order without making unnecessary adjournments. No costs.
