Petitioner's two sons have admittedly married the petitioners in the above two Original Petitions pending before the Family Court. It appears that the daughters-in-law of the petitioner have claimed certain amounts from their respective husbands, sons of the petitioner herein. It is also on record that the Family Court had ordered attachment of the property belonging to the petitioner in connection with those two original petitions. Though the Family Court had lifted the attachment on condition that the petitioner deposit some amount, she has not been able to do so since, according to her, the condition is onerous. 3. Anyhow, we do not propose to deal with the contention raised by the petitioner in that regard since, the limited prayer in this writ petition is to issue a direction to 2 WP(C)NO.9984/09 the Family Court to dispose of the two Original Petitions pending before it expeditiously. We are of the view that no prejudice will be caused to the respondents even if notice is not issued to them. In any view of the matter, an expeditious disposal will always be advantageous to all the parties to the lis. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Family Court, Trivandrum, to try O.P.No.1200/2007 and O.P.No.155/2008 jointly and dispose them of as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within an outer limit of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
