This original petition is filed invoking Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The petitioner, who is the wife of the 1st respondent, seeks a direction to the Family Court to expedite and dispose of Ext.P1 suit. On a query by us, we are told that she had also filed an application for divorce and an original petition under Article 227of the Constitution of India seeking disposal of that matter. We are told that the said original petition was ordered relegating the petitioner to the Family Court to seek relief or early disposal. 2. Looking at Ext.P1, we find that the suit, from which original petition arises, is filed within a period of four months of delivering the first child of the couple which unfortunately was also sick and undergoing treatment, going by the various pleadings in paragraphs 7 and 8 of Ext.P1. We are told that the O.P.(F.C).No.2209/2011 2 1st respondent is in the police service. We feel that Ext.P1 may be a matter that has to be taken up for consideration along with the application for divorce. Leaving open all such issues, we relegate the petitioner to the Family Court to file appropriate application for expediting the disposal of Ext.P1. Such application will obtain sympathetic consideration at the hands of the Family Court also in view of the listing of the divorce petition between the petitioner and the 1st respondent.
