Respondent No.3 is the wife of respondent No.2. Petitioner claimed that she was living with respondent Nos.2 and 3 in the house in five cents. While so, respondents subjected her to cruelty, cut off electric connection to the room where she was staying and even denied food to her. She preferred a complaint to the learned Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Cherthala under provisions of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 and prayed for an ex parte order by Ext.P6, application against commission of domestic violence and for maintenance. Respondents appeared in the case and the case was posted on 20.11.2010. Now the case is posted on 15.01.2011. Grievance of petitioner is that the application for interim relief has not so far been disposed of. Hence a direction is sought to the learned Magistrate to dispose of Ext.P6, application as early as possible. 2. Having regard to the facts and circumstances stated, learned Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Cherthala is directed to O.P(Crl.) No.72 of 2011 -: 2 :- dispose of Ext.P6, application as expeditiously as possible having regard to the grievance of petitioner and of course after giving opportunity to the respondents to meet the said application.
