IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10720 of 2009 ANUP KUMAR SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 2 25.8.2009 Divorce Case No. 158 of 2004 is pending in the court of Principal Judge Family Court, Saran at Chapra against respondent no.2. It is submitted that for the last five years the matter has hardly progressed. Petitioner submits that he is personnel in the Indian Army Force and protracted litigation on his head mars his day to day performance. It is urged on behalf of the petitioner that an early adjudication of the dispute is his right and the matter is unnecessarily being dragged at the instance of respondent no.2 for the obvious reason. In absence of the ordersheet having been produced before this Court or specific reason having been assigned for the delay in decision of the Divorce Case No. 158 of 2004, this Court has no occasion to come to the conclusion as to why the trial of the case is being delayed over five years now. However, the Principal Judge Family Court Saran at Chapra is directed to look into the record of the case and try to expedite the decision of the matter at the earliest preferably within a period of one year from the date of production or communication of a copy of this order, if not earlier. This writ application is disposed of with the above direction. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
