KIRAN RAJU PENUMACHA versus TEJUSWINI CHOWDHURY
The Supreme Court held that the modification petition and execution petition require fresh consideration by the Family Court; while remanding the matters for fresh adjudication, the Court granted limited interim visitation rights to the father (Sundays 04:00 PM to 06:00 PM with the child accompanied by a caretaker who remains on the premises) and directed the Family Court to decide E.P. No.7 of 2023 and I.A. No.865 of 2023 expeditiously, within three months, while preserving remedies if the Respondent obstructs implementation.
