THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN & P.S.GOPINATHAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------- W.P(C).No.7038 OF 2010 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of March, 2010 JUDGMENT Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J. This is a writ petition filed by a woman who has filed a couple of Original petitions, O.P.Nos.1079/08 and 1080/08, before the family court, Thiruvananthapuram. In one of the matters, she seeks a declaration that the so called marriage between her and the respondent is a nullity. She has different grounds against him. The other case appears to be in relation to assets, money etc. It appears from the pleadings that the respondent was set ex parte at one point of time and that was set aside and the matter permitted to be contested. If that were so, having regard to the nature of the allegations and the age of the parties, we deem it appropriate that the learned Family Court Judge considers those cases for expeditious disposal in accordance with law. Though learned counsel for the petitioner persuade us to fix an outer time limit, we do not deem it appropriate to do so having regard to the totality of the facts and WPC.7038/10 2 circumstances and the probable work load of the Family Court and because we are of the firm belief that the learned Judge will do the needful to dispose of the matters at the earliest. The writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, Judge. Sd/- P.S.GOPINATHAN, Judge. kkb.4/03.
