JUDGMENT Raman, J. The limited prayer made in this writ petition is for a direction to the Family Court, Thiruvananthapuram to consider and dispose of O.P.No.85/2007 pending before it. We find that the said case has been filed only in 2007 and therefore it cannot be said that there is any undue delay in the matter of disposal of the case by the Family Court. However, if there is any exceptional circumstances, it is open to the petitioner to approach the Family Court by filing appropriate petition seeking for early disposal of the matter, in which event, the Family Court will consider the petition on merits and pass orders in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of as above. ( P.R.Raman, Judge.) (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav
