IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11429 of 2009 RUMU SAMIYAR @ RUMU SAXENA @RUMU BHADHURI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 2.9.2009 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Guardianship Case No. 15 of 2006 is pending adjudication before the Principal Judge, Family Court, Patna since 2006. Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the daughter in question namely, Sharanya @ Miss Shuvraa is now 14 years of age and the mother would like to take charge of her for her interest and welfare but due to planned strategy adopted by the Ex-husband of the present petitioner, namely, Gyan Prakash Saxena the issue is not being allowed to move or finally decided. Petitioner has brought an application filed by said Gyan Prakash Saxena on record as annexure-4 which is dated 30.4.2009 which categorically states that he will not participate in the case and waste his energy and money in appearing before the court in question. A prayer has been made therein to get the matter decided and pass an appropriate order by the court. Petitioner has responded by a rejoinder but thereafter the court has not moved a inch. Petitioner is now living in United State of America and she cannot stay in the country indefinitely only for the matter to be decided one way or the other. Be that as it may, if the application dated 30.4.2009 is correct and authentic, the Family Court take steps for rendering his decision. Keeping the matter pending or in abeyance - 2 - is not in the interest of the court or the litigant. The Court expects a decision in the matter within a reasonable time frame. This writ application stands disposed of with above direction. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
