Constitution of Pakistan (1973), Art.199

Constitutional petition

Custody of minor

Schedule of meeting of the minor

Petitioner had challenged only the schedule of meeting with the minor given by the appellate Court

Schedule given in the impugned judgment was being complied with by both the parties

Submission of the petitioner, however, was that because of the schedule given in the impugned judgment, education of the minor was being disturbed so a new schedule to meet the child with his father be given

Petitioner had suggested that it was appropriate to allow the father to meet the minor after six weeks

Suggestion was repelled on the ground that it was also part of the education that the minor should meet his father; and even otherwise no ground was urged in the petition or in the argument of the counsel for the petitioner that father should be deprived to meet his son

Appellate Court had given schedule in its judgment keeping in view the welfare of the minor

No reason was at all available to disturb the same or to give new schedule

Constitutional petition was dismissed in circumstances.

Judgment & Decree

ALI AKBAR QURESHI, J.

The petitioner through this constitutional petition has only challenged the schedule of meeting given by the learned appellate Court while accepting the appeal of the petitioner vide order, dated 29-4-2008.

2. Both the learned counsel have stated that the schedule given in the judgment, impugned herein, is being complied with by both the parties. However, the learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that because of the schedule given in the aforesaid judgment, the education of the minor is being disturbed so a new schedule to meet the child with his father be given. The learned counsel for the petitioner suggested that it is appropriate to allow the respondent to meet the minor after six weeks. The contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner is repelled on the ground that it is also part of the education that the minor should meet his father and even otherwise there is no ground urged in the instant petition or in the argument of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the father of the minor/respondent should be deprived to meet his son. The learned appellate Court has given schedule in his judgment keeping in view the welfare of the minor so there is no reason at all to disturb the same or to give the new schedule.

3. For the foregoing reasons, this petition has no force and is dismissed. No order as to costs. H.B.T./R-50/L Petition Dismissed.
