We find from the impugned order that the said order was limited for a period of one month. We have been informed that the matter has been fixed by the learned District Judge in the middle of June, 2022.

It is further submitted that during the summer vacation, the child may be allowed to meet the mother exclusively for some days or for sometime and there could be an interaction between the child and the mother.
