(24)WP-17246-2024.doc We, hereby, clarify that the Petitioner shall hold the custody of the daughter until further orders. As the learned counsel for the Respondent is absent, we are unable to get assistance as regards the stand of the Respondent/husband i.e. the father of the child. In this background, we deem it appropriate to post the matter on 18.11.2024, the date on which the Petitioner shall produce the daughter before the Court at 2.00 p.m.
