The prayer in the writ petition is- 1. To pass appropriate orders directing the Family Court, Kollam, to proceed with OS 80/2007 pending on its file forthwith rather being posted as “Notified”. 2. To pass appropriate orders directing the Family Court, Kollam to dispose of OS 80/07 pending on its file in a time bound manner. 2. Heard counsel for the petitioner. 3. This court has called for a report. The report would inter alia say that there are altogether 9 notifications in the suit and the cases happened to be notified due to the heavy postings due to pendency of a large number of cases and urgent matters posted and to give priority to old cases and urgent matters. Hence a request is made to grant a period 6 months to dispose of the suit. WP(C) 36418/09 2 In the light of the above report, we dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Family Court, Kollam to dispose of OS 80/2007 pending on its file within six months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment before it.
