The petitioner is party to two proceedings before the Family Court, Thiruvananthapuram. O.P.(HMA)No.1219/07 is filed by her for divorce against the respondent/husband. The respondent-husband has filed O.P.No.940/07 for restitution of conjugal rights. Both these cases, it is submitted are ripe for trial. At this juncture, the petitioner submits that there is urgent necessity to dispose of both the cases expeditiously. She hence filed an application that both cases may be disposed of expeditiously. The same is pending before the Family Court as I.A.No.142/2009. No orders have been passed in that I.A. also, though it has been filed as early as in January, 2009. The petitioner has now come to this Court for issue of appropriate directions. 2. We find the plight of the petitioner to be unenviable. She wants an early disposal of the cases. She has filed a specific W.P.(C)No.14690/09 -2- application for the same. Even, that application is not considered. 3. We need only mention that we expect the learned Judge of the Family Court to dispose of both cases as expeditiously as possible. The learned Judge shall take up I.A.No.142/09 for hearing and orders and ensure that orders are passed in that petition within a period of 7 days from the date on which a copy of this judgment is placed before the learned Judge. 4. Hand over copy of the order to the learned counsel for the petitioner for production before the learned Judge of the Family Court. R.BASANT, JUDGE. M.C.HARI RANI, JUDGE. dsn
