petitioner, when taken away by respondent No. 4 with an

understanding to drop her at Shimla after few days. The

.

statement Annexure P-3 to the writ petitioner can be referred to

in this regard. He, however, alleged to have backed out from his

commitment as he did not hand over the custody of the child to

the petitioner as agreed upon.

3. The present in the given facts and circumstances is

not a case of illegal detention of the minor or her illegal

confinement and rather she is presently living with her father,

the respondent No. 4 at Rupnagar (Punjab). The said respondent

may have tactfully taken the custody of his minor daughter from

the petitioner, however, we are not commented upon this aspect

of the matter on merit and rather leave this controversy open to

be decided by the competent Court.

4. We have been informed that a petition under the

Guardians and Wards Act has been filed by the petitioner for

seeking custody of minor Anmol before Civil Judge (Senior),Court

No. 1, Shimla. The Writ petition, as such, is disposed of with a

direction to learned Civil Judge to decide the petition filed for

custody of minor Anmol by her mother, the petitioner herein,

expeditiously, preferably on or before 30th June, 2018. Learned

Civil Judge shall also decide the question of visitation rights of

the parties especially the petitioner to visit and meet the minor

pending disposal of the petition filed for seeking her custody.
