J U D G M E N T Kurian Joseph, J. The prayer is for a direction to the Family Court, Kannur to dispose of O.P.570/05. According to the petitioner, the evidence has already been completed. The Family Court, however has passed Ext.P7, ordering joint trial of O.P.570/05 along with O.P.Nos.295/06 and 83/06. It is brought to our notice that M.C.45/06 is also pending between the parties. 2. Having heard counsel for the petitioner, we are of the view that it is only in the interests of the parties that the entire disputes between the petitioner and respondent are jointly tried with liberty to the parties, if necessary to adduce fresh evidence. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the Family Court, Kannur to consolidate all the above cases and try them together. The parties will be at liberty to adduce fresh evidence. The WP NO.25622/07 2 Family Court shall also make a fresh endeavour to have the disputes settled between the parties, before the trial. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE.
