Taranjeet Kaur and another versus Amar Pal Singh, pending before it. 2- Heard Sri B.N. Molakhi, Advocate for the petitioner and perused the record. 3- The record reveals that the petition under Section 125 Cr.P.C. is pending before the Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Dehradun since April, 2006. The aforesaid case was filed on 4-4-2006. The purpose of constitution of Family Court is to expedite the matrimonial disputes between the parties. The delay in deciding the matter pending before the Family Court, will certainly frustrate the basic object of the constitution of the Court.
