CORAM : ANIL L. PANSARE AND NIVEDITA P. MEHTA, JJ.

FEBRUARY 16, 2026 The petitioner - mother is alleging willful disobedience of order dated 10/10/2025 passed by this Court in Criminal Writ Petition No. 595/2025. The order was passed in view of the settlement terms dated 8/10/2025 submitted before us. One of the Clauses of the settlement terms is Clause (2), which reads as under : "(2) On every Friday, respondent no.2 father would drop the daughter with the petitioner at Nagpur in the evening after the school hours accordingly the daughter Avani will be in the company of the mother till Sunday evening, after the same, the mother namely petitioner would return and drop back the daughter to Brahmapuri in the custody of father at Brahmapuri."

2] The Counsel for the petitioner submits that the respondent - father (respondent no.2 in the Writ Petition) was under an obligation to drop the child - daughter with the petitioner at Nagpur, as agreed in the aforesaid Clause, but he has not done so, even once. 3] As against, the Counsel for the respondent submits that he made an attempt to do so, but the child was not willing to go with the petitioner.

27-CP-392-2025 4] Thus, there is statement against statement.

In the circumstances, it will be difficult to say that the respondent has willfully disobeyed the order. The appropriate course, in our view, is to approach the Family Court No.3, Nagpur, where the dispute is pending, for getting the order under question executed.

5] Accordingly, the parties are at liberty to approach the Family Court for executing the order or seeking any other legitimate help. We request the learned Judge of the Family Court to look into the matter and if the petitioner seeks help for executing the order, the learned Judge may interact with the child to ascertain the cause behind her reluctance, if any, to accompany her mother, the petitioner herein. The learned Judge may take such other action, including passing order, to secure welfare of the child.

6] With the aforesaid observation, the petition is disposed of.
