WPMS No.780/2008 Hon’ble B. C. Kandpal, J. By way of this writ petition the petitioner, who is the applicant in Matrimonial Case No. 437 of 2005, under Sections 9 and 13 of Hindu Marriage Act, pending before the court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Dehradun, has prayed for issuing a direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the Principal Judge, Family Court, Dehradun, to decide the case expeditiously. Heard Sri Jitendra Chaudhary, learned counsel for petitioner and perused the record. The record reveals that the matter is pending since 2005 before the court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Dehradun and the case is now at the stage of evidence. According to the petitioner, the pendency of the case has put the life of the petitioner into peril. The object of creation of Family Courts is to dispose of the matrimonial cases expeditiously. The delay in disposal of the cases pending before Family Courts is against the spirit of the Act. The prayer made by the petitioner by way of this petition appears to be innocuous. I, therefore, direct the Principal Judge, Family Court, Dehradun to decide Matrimonial Case No. 437 of 2005, expeditiously and without causing any unreasonable delay. With the aforesaid observations, the petition is finally disposed of. (B. C. K., J.) 08.05.2008 SP
