This appeal has been filed by the appellant - wife challenging order dated 15.01.2020 whereby petition under Section 25 of the Guardian and Wards Act filed by her seeking custody of the minor son and daughter has been dismissed.
It is noticed that matter had been adjourned on number of occasions since 28.06.2021 when it first came up for hearing. Following order was passed by co-ordinate Bench on 20.04.2022:-
" Learned counsel for the appellant seeks time to place on record affidavit of the appellant showing that she is financially capable to bring up both the minor children, namely Eknoor Singh and Reetnoor Kaur, aged about 11 years and 09 years respectively.
Adjourned to 17.05.2022."
