Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ernakulam is not passing orders on Ext.P1, P5 and P6 namely CMP Nos.2630 of 2009, 190 of 2010 and 346 of 2010, all in a proceeding under Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. 2. This Court had called for a report of the Addl.Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ernakulam, who as per letter dated 4.5.2010 has reported that all the cases were posted for recording the evidence on 26.4.2010. On that day the parties submitted that the matter was likely to be settled and requested to send the matter to the Lok Adalath for settlement. Accordingly those matters were sent for settlement to Lok Adalath. 3. It is now agreed that no settlement was arrived at in the Lok Adalath. If so, those petitions require expeditious disposal. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing the Addl.Chief Judicial Magistrate to dispose of all the above W.P.(c)No.12591 of 2010 2 petitions expeditiously and in accordance with law. Since Section 12(5) of the Act fixes a period of 60 days from the date of 1st hearing for the disposal of an application under Section 12(1) of the Act, the learned Magistrate shall dispose of the above petitions within two months of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
