However, in view of the same being a weekday and Krisha having school the next day, and also because the travel time would be significant, the Respondent will try sending Krisha for the same. Alternatively, the Respondent shall send Krisha to her cousin Rakshit's house after her school on 16 December 2025 for two hours (i.c. from 4:00pm to 6:00pm) so Krisha can spend time with Rakshit on his birthday, provided the Petitioner is also present with Krisha at Rakshit's house.
