THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/07/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: R.BASANT & M.C.HARI RANI, JJ. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C)No.19721 OF 2009 ----------------------------------------------------- DATED THIS THE 14th DAY OF JULY, 2009 J U D G M E N T Basant, J. The short prayer of the petitioner in this application filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India is that the Family Court, Nedumangad may be directed to dispose of O.P.Nos.974/08, 1176/08 and 1177/08, all pending before that court. An out of turn, expeditious disposal is prayed for. 2. Was the court below moved by the petitioner? Why is it that the petitioner has rushed to this Court with such a request? Normally and ordinarily, we would expect the petitioner, if he has any compelling reasons to justify out of turn, expeditious disposal of the cases to move the Family Court and come to this Court only if the relief is unjustifiably denied to him. We do not find any justification in the prayer made before this Court at the first instance for an out of turn, expeditious disposal of the cases. 3. We make it clear that the petitioner must approach the W.P.(C)No.19721/09 -2- Family Court, Nedumangad with such request, if there be valid reasons to support the same. The Family Court, Nedumangad must consider such request, if any made and pass appropriate orders. Needless to say, if the petitioner feels aggrieved, appropriate avenues of challenge shall be available to the petitioner. 4. With the above observation, this Writ Petition is dismissed. Handover a copy of this judgment to the learned counsel for the petitioner for production before the Family Court, with such application to be filed for out of turn expeditious disposal of the pending cases before the Family Court.
