Petitioners, seeking for a direction to the Family Court, Alappuzha for expeditious disposal of the claim petition I.A.No.3885/2005 produced as Ext.P5, have filed this writ petition. According to lst petitioner, the property belonged to her husband was attached in a proceeding initiated by the 2nd respondent against the 3rd respondent. It is only after the death of her husband that she came to know about the attachment. She is in dire need of money and since the property belonged to her husband, absolutely she wants to lift the attachment for which an I.A. was filed. She seeks for expeditious disposal of the said I.A. Even according to the petitioners, admittedly notice was ordered in the said I.A., counter affidavit has been filed and the matter is now posted on 11/12/2008. In such circumstances, we cannot find that there is -2- WP(C).No.35724/2008 any inordinate delay in the matter of disposal. However, in case within a reasonable time the matter is not disposed of, it is open to the petitioners to approach this Court. We find that it is too premature to entertain the matter. Writ Petition is dismissed. P.R.RAMAN, Judge. T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, Judge. kcv.
