application at family court, despite Family Court order, only to protract litigation. It is therefore humbly prayed that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to direct the Ld Judge Family Court to expeditiously dispose the application on merits on the next date of hearing.

C. Grant any other relief to the Petitioner (Husband) as deemed appropriate as per the facts and circumstances of the case."

3.

The grievance of the appellant is that the respondent on one pretext or the other is not complying with our judgement dated 17.05.2024, and in order to ensure that no excuse for the same is available with the respondent, the above relief be granted. 4.

We are of the opinion that once the judgment has been passed, in the event of non-compliance with its terms by the respondent, the appropriate remedy should be pursued. However, the present application is not the proper remedy for this situation. 5.

Accordingly, we dispose of this application with liberty to the appellant to avail of his remedies in accordance with law.
