and Registrar's orders Mr. H.I. Kothari, Advocate for Petitioner.

Mr. M.P. Kariya, Advocate for Respondent.

CORAM : Manish Pitale, J.

DATED : January 04, 2019.

By this writ petition, the petitioner (wife) has challenged order dated 04.05.2018 passed by the Family Court at Nagpur, whereby application filed by her for direction to the respondent (husband) to bear medical expenses of their child, has been rejected. While issuing notice in this writ petition, stay was granted of proceedings before the Family Court in divorce petitions filed by both the parties.

During the pendency of this writ petition, the child has undergone medical treatment including surgery for which admittedly the respondent has borne all the expenses. A pursis dated 05.12.2018 is handed over by the learned counsel for the respondent (which is marked "X" for identification), wherein it is stated that the respondent undertakes to bear all expenses for surgery and medical treatment of the child as per the advice of the doctor. The learned counsel appearing for the respondent further submitted that the respondent is ready to bear all the medical expenses of the child in future.

WP3568-18.odt In the light of the said undertaking given by the respondent, nothing survives in the present writ petition and, therefore, it is disposed of.

It is brought to the notice of this Court by the learned counsel for the parties that divorce petitions filed by them are pending before the Family Court since the year 2016. Hence it would be in the interest of justice that the divorce petitions are taken up for consideration and decided finally by the Family Court at Nagpur, expeditiously and in any case within a period of six months from today.
