J U D G M E N T

Petitioner has filed a petition under Section 12(1) of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act against her husband, who is the respondent before this court. Along with the petition in the lower court she filed an application for interim maintenance. The complaint is that there has been long delay in passing orders on the application. The prayer is to issue a direction to dispose of the application.

2.

Heard.

3.

I am satisfied that the request is reasonable. The learned Magistrate is directed to dispose of the application for interim maintenance without delay and at least within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
