RAVIKUMAR, JJ. --------------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO. 9357 OF 2009 --------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of April, 2009 JUDGMENT Basant, J. The prayer in this Writ Petition is for an expeditious disposal of O.P. No.1297 of 2005 pending before the Family Court, Nedumangad. The proceedings were actually initiated long earlier before the Family Court, Thiruvananthapuram. Report of the Judge of the Family Court, Nedumangad was called for. The learned Judge of the Family Court reported that O.P. No.1297 of 2005 shall be disposed of within six months from 26.3.2009. 2. We accept the report of the learned Judge of the Family Court. We must caution the learned Judge that the matter has to be disposed of as expeditiously as possible. The mere fact that we have accepted the time of six months to dispose of the case should not persuade the learned Judge to wait till the last date. The learned Judge of the Family Court must take note of the fact that the Original Petition was filed as early as in 1997 before the Family Court at Thiruvananthapuram. At any rate, we accept W.P.(C)NO.9357/2009 2 the submission of the learned Judge of the Family Court that the matter shall be disposed of prior to 26.9.2009. Compliance shall be reported to this Court. 3. The Writ Petition is allowed in part to the above extent. (R. BASANT) JUDGE (C.T. RAVIKUMAR) JUDGE sp/ W.P.(C)NO.9357/2009 3 R. BASANT & C.T.
