This is a writ petition filed for a direction to the Family Court, Thiruvalla to dispose of Exts.P2 and P3. Petitioner was declared ex parte in M.C.No.224/06 filed by the wife and he was directed to pay maintenance. Petitioner filed an application (Ext.P2) to set aside the ex parte order along with a petition (Ext.P3) to condone the delay. Ext.P3 itself shows that there is a delay of 270 days and the petition was filed only on 27th August, 2008. We do not find that there is any inordinate delay in the matter of disposal of Exts.P2 and P3, since only one month has elapsed after filing the said petition. However, if there is any urgency in the matter of exceptional nature, nothing prevents the petitioner from filing a petition showing good reasons for an early disposal of the said case, in which event the court below will bestow consideration of -2- WP(C).No.30609/2008 the matter in accordance with law. Subject to the above, this writ petition is dismissed. P.R.RAMAN, Judge. T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, Judge. kcv.
