IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No.428 of 2011 (M/S) Jatinder Duggal ..… Petitioner Versus Smt. Sonia Duggal ….. Respondent Mr. R.P. Nautiyal, Advocate for the petitioner Hon’ble B.S. Verma, J. Heard. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought writ in the nature of mandamus directing the Principal Judge, Family Court, Dehradun to decide the case registered as O.S. No.63 of 2009, as expeditiously as possible. According to the petitioner, he filed a case as O.S. No.63/2009 u/s 13, 26 and 27 of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 before the Principal Judge, Family Court, Dehradun, on 16.2.2009. The grievance of the petitioner is that since then two years have elapsed but the suit is still pending for disposal. Even issues have not been framed in the case and the respondent is adopting delaying tactics to linger on the litigation. Therefore, learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Dehradun, be directed to decide the O.S. No.63 of 2009, expeditiously. Prayer made is innocuous in nature and deserves to be accepted. The Principal Judge, Family Court, Dehradun, is directed to decide the O.S. No.63 of 2009, pending before him, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six months, 2 from the date of production of certified copy of this order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of finally. (B.S. Verma, J.) 11.3.2011 RG 2
