JUDGMENT The submission of the petitioner in paragraph 4 of the writ petition regarding the threatened prosecution is recorded. However, I do not deem it appropriate to entertain this writ petition at this point of time and issue any direction because, the Kerala Women's Commission is a statutory authority and its functions are required for different purposes, including to resolve disputes amicably. Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances and having regard to the fact that the stage of proceedings before the Commission is only at the initial stage of reconciliatory proceedings as is reflected by the materials on record, I do not deem it appropriate to interfere with those proceedings, as of now. Hence, this WP(C)24621/2007 -: 2 :- writ petition is dismissed without prejudice to contentions and without expressing anything on merits, including the availability or otherwise of any relief by way of partition.
