2. The petitioner herein filed a petition for divorce on the grounds of cruelty and desertion against the respondent. The divorce petition was filed in the year 2019.

3. A perusal of the adjudication sheet filed in the typed set of papers would indicate that the pleadings of the parties are already completed and the matter was posted for cross-examination of P.W.1 as early as 04.07.2022. Thereafter, there is no substantial progress in the enquiry. Even after 3 years, the OP is still in the stage of cross examination of P.W.1. It is seen that the respondent/wife was absent continuously for several hearing dates when the matter was posted for her cross-examination.

4. Taking into consideration all these aspects, this Court is inclined to direct the Family Court, Puducherry to dispose of the MOP.NO.511/2019 as expeditiously as possible.

5. With this direction, the civil revision petitions stands disposed of. No costs.
