It has also come on record that the children are residing with the mother since 1998. Application to get their custody was filed in the month of March, 2003. There is no evidence on record, to show that during long period of 5 years between 1998 to 2003, any attempt was made by the appellant to look after the children by sending some amount or further that he made any attempt during this period to meet the children/ to get their custody.
