WPCRL No. 370 of 2009 Hon’ble B.C. Kandpal, J. By way of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought the relief in the nature of mandamus directing the court below to decide the Case No. 9004 of 2008, Smt. Jeewanti Devi Vs Naval Kishore pending in the court of A.C.J.M. 1st, Dehradun expeditiously. Heard Sri Lokendra Dobhal, learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. The complaint was filed under Sections 12, 17, 19 and 20 of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 in the court of Judicial Magistrate (C.B.I.), Dehradun and the same was registered as Case No. 5320 of 2007. The respondent in this case, however, appeared on 18.12.2007 but thereafter several dates have been fixed in the case, but the case was not proceeded further. However, on 22.07.2008, the case was transferred to the court of A.C.J.M. 1st, Dehradun and it was renumbered as 9004 of 2008. Thereafter, the case has been adjourned on several dates but it has not proceeded further. It has been averred in the writ petition that the petitioner is aged about 75 years and suffering from a number of diseases of old age, but in view of the fact that the case has been lingering on in the Court for no plausible reasons, the petitioner has not been able to get the fruit of the case, hence, this writ petition. Having considered the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the view that it is a case in which the prayer made by the petitioner appears to be innocuous. I, accordingly, direct the court concerned, where the aforesaid matter is pending to decide the matter as early as possible and preferably within a period of six months from the date of production of certified copy of this order. With the aforesaid observations, the petition is disposed of. (B.C.K., J.) 06.08.2009 ASWAL
