That prayer was granted by the Supreme Court. The learned Senior Counsel for the respondent states that though the petitioner had not made out ground for setting aside the ex-parte decree and to set aside the Order passed by the learned Trial Court, the orders may be set aside and the matter may be remanded for trial, which may be completed within three months since the marriage between the parties has broken down irretrievably. In view of this appeal is allowed. The impugned order as also ex-parte decree is set aside. The parties shall appear before the learned Civil Judge on 27.08.2008 either by themselves or through their lawyer and shall settle a calender of dates so as enable the Trial Court to complete the trial within a period of 3 months. The applicant shall file her written statement on 27.08.2008 itself, which the learned Judge shall take on record. Since the matter has been transferred by the Supreme Court to Family Court at Goa and since Family Court is not functioning in Goa, the Court of Civil Judge, Senior Division which deals with matrimonial matters under the Hindu Law shall deal with this case and no objection to the jurisdiction of the Civil Judge, Senior Division shall be raised.
