THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: R.BASANT & M.C.HARI RANI, JJ. ********************** W.P(C) No.20380 of 2010 ********************* Dated this the 19th day of July, 2010 JUDGMENT BASANT, J. This judgment must be read in continuation of our earlier orders dated 30.06.2010. The short prayer of the petitioner is that I.A.No.2103 of 2008 in O.P.No.206 of 2008 filed by him may be ordered to be disposed of expeditiously. He is not a party to the proceedings. He has staked a claim for a property under attachment. Report of the learned Judge of the Family Court was called for. By report dated 16.07.2010, the learned Judge of the Family Court has apprised this Court of the developments in the case. The learned Judge undertakes that the matter shall be disposed of within a period of two months from 16.07.2010. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner accepts that the matter has been advanced and necessary steps have been taken. Evidence has already been adduced on 16.07.2010. The matter stands posted before the Family Court to this day for hearing. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that taking note of the developments that have occurred after the filing of the petition, it is not necessary for waiting for two months from 16.07.2010 for final disposal. W.P(C) No.20380 of 2010 2 3. We take note of the submissions of the learned counsel. We take note of the report dated 16.07.2010 by the Family Court. We need only direct the Family Court to dispose of the case as expeditiously as possible - at any rate, not later than 16.09.2010. We make it clear that the mere fact that we have given an outer time limit till 16.09.2010 would not in any way stand in the way of an out of turn and immediate disposal of the matter. 4. This Writ Petition is, in these circumstances, allowed in part. 5. Compliance shall be reported to this Court. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) (M.C.HARI RANI, JUDGE) rtr/
