% 21.10.2016 1.

With consent of learned counsel for the parties, which consent is with the concurrence of the appellant and the respondent who are present in person, the appeal is disposed of modifying the impugned order dated February 12, 2016 which grants appellant a right to meet the children every third Saturday from 04:00 PM - 05:00 PM in the Children Room, Family Court, Vishwas Nagar, Shahdara and if third Saturday happens to be a holiday then on the fourth Saturday. The modification is that on the third Saturday of each month the appellant would be handed over interim custody of the children by the respondent outside her residence G-12/B West Arjun Nagar, Delhi-110051 at 04:00 PM and the custody of the children would be returned to the respondent by the appellant latest by 07:00 PM. MAT.APP.(F.C.) 28/2016

2.

The appellant has been counselled by us not to speak about any family issue with the children who are of impressionable age. He should spend the time meaningfully with the children interacting in a manner which makes the children comfortable so that the bond between the children and the father is strengthened. The appellant also agrees that during the three hours stay with his children he would not take them to his house. 3.

It would be open to the appellant to file an application before the learned Principal Judge, Family Courts, Shahdara District, Karkardooma Courts after 8 months praying for children to be spending time with him during their vacation period.

If such an application is filed, the learned Presiding Judge, Family Courts, Shahdara District would interact with the children and on ascertaining the comfort level of the children with their father would pass appropriate orders.
