====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 29-04-2024 The matter has been taken up on mentioning being made on behalf of the petitioner.
2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.
3. The instant petition has been filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India for issuance of an appropriate direction to the court of learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Patna for disposal of Matrimonial Case No. 1129 of 2021 within a reasonable period.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is wife of respondent and she has filed Matrimonial Case No. 1129 of 2021 for dissolution of marriage under Section 13(1)(2) of Hindu Marriage Act. After issuance of notice respondent appeared and filed written statement on
Patna High Court C.Misc. No.159 of 2024(2) dt.29-04-2024 2/2 25.08.2022 and thereafter, the matter has not been moved any further. The respondent has been adopting delaying tactics by not cooperating in the court proceeding. The learned Family Court has not taken steps either for counselling of the parties or for prompt disposal of the case.
5. Since the petitioner has come before this Court for early disposal of her matrimonial case, I find that there is no need to issue notice to the respondent.
6. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case, learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Patna is directed to take up the matter with promptitude and take all steps for disposal of Matrimonial Case No. 1129 of 2021 within a year from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this matter without giving unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties.
7. With the aforesaid directions, the present petition stands disposed of.
