R1 TO R3 BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.T.K.VIPINDAS THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: sts THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN & S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN, JJ. ----------------------------------- W.P(C).No.5529 OF 2011 ------------------------------------ Dated this the 22nd day of February, 2011 JUDGMENT Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan,J. Having regard to the nature of the orders being issued hereunder, notice to respondents 4 to 6 dispensed with, preserving their right for re-hearing of this matter, if aggrieved by this judgment. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader. Going through the writ petition, we find that there are controversies between the petitioner and the private respondents in relation to the matrimonial affairs of the petitioner and the 6th respondent. The couple has also a 11 months old child. There are litigations pending in different jurisdictions, including under the provisions of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act and different other WPC.5529/11 2 matters. It is also stated that there is a crime registered under Section 498A read with Section 34 IPC. It appears that there are some litigations pending in the Women’s Commission also. With this, we do not think it appropriate to let this jurisdiction also be invoked since multiplicity of litigation would only lead to lagging of any settlement or judicial resolution of the disputes between the parties. All that is required is that the Police will ensure that law and order is maintained and any complaint by the petitioner or by the private respondents of threat to life will be taken due care of. The writ petition is ordered accordingly. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, Judge. Sd/- S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN, Judge. kkb.23/2.
