The petitioner is the respondent in a proceedings before the Family Court. That was once decided ex parte against him. The Family Court re-opened the proceedings and on proof affidavit being filed by the petitioner, a Commission was appointed for recording evidence. The writ petitioner who is the respondent before the Family Court was permitted to adduce evidence first if he requires. Obviously this was because he pointed out his need to leave India to reach his place of avocation. We do not find any illegality in that order. In fact, even the writ petitioner does not make much against that order. All that he wants is that the proceedings should be adjourned by six months. It is not for the High Court to exercise jurisdiction to pass an order directing the Family Court to adjourn cases. If the WPC.6367/10. 2 parties have inconvenience and grievances in regard to listing of matters for consideration, it is for them to move the Family Court and seek appropriate orders. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed preserving all such rights of the parties. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, Judge. Sd/- P.S.GOPINATHAN, Judge. kkb.8/03.
