Vide order dated 20.09.2025, learned Family Court directed the petitioner to give NOC for issuance of tourist visa for the child on an application moved by the respondent in order to take him for an international trip.

¶29

Learned Family Court while disposing of the application moved by the respondent passed the following order:-

“I have considered the submissions and gone through the record. The petitioner is having the custody of the child and the short controversy involved is regarding the NOC to be given by the respondent for the international visit of the child for holidays.

¶33

I am of the view that the same should not be made a ground to deprive the child from having international vacations. I am finding no impediment in allowing the application. The application is accordingly allowed and the respondent is directed to issue the necessary NOC in favor of the petitioner /child for obtaining a tourist visa within 3 days from today.”

¶34

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the respondent had not furnished the travel details including the destination in terms of order dated 28.10.2025 passed by learned Predecessor Bench of this Court.

¶35

On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent submits that the same has now been filed with the learned Family Court. Learned counsel for the petitioner has expressed his apprehension that in case the respondent is permitted to travel abroad alongwith the child he may not return. As already noted by learned Family Court, the NOC required from the petitioner is only with respect to tourist visa. Learned counsel for the respondent, on instructions of the latter submits that he is willing to furnish security for the purposes of such travel. Admittedly, the custody of the child is with the respondent.

¶36

In these circumstances, the order dated 20.09.2025 is modified in the following manner:-

¶37

(i) That the respondent herein Mr. Rohit Kalra shall furnish a security to the tune of Rs. 2 lakhs with the learned Family Court to the satisfaction of the learned Family Court.

¶38

(ii) After obtaining the concerned visa, the respondent shall give a detailed itinerary before the learned Family, with respect to the destinations and places that he will be travelling with the child. (iii) The respondent shall also file an undertaking with the concerned
