JUDGMENT
DEVAN RAMACHANDRAN (J) The singular prayer of the petitioners is that the learned Family Court, Tirur, be directed to dispose of I.A.No.9/2024 in O.P.No.28/2021 - exhibited as Ext.P2 herein - within a time frame to be fixed by this Court.
2. We notice from Ext.P2 that, what the petitioners require is an order from the learned Family Court to lift the attachment over their property, saying that they are not parties to O.P.No.28/2021.
3. We do not propose to enter into the merits
of any of the contentions since, it is impermissible for us to do at this stage. However, if Ext.P2 is still pending, obviously, the learned Family Court, Tirur, will consider the same as per law and subject to the time frames as are involved.
4. Normally, this Court loathe in directing the learned Family Court to dispose of matters within set time frames.
5. We, therefore, leave liberty to the
petitioners to move the learned Family Court for expeditious disposal of Ext.P2; and if such is done, then the said Court will decide the application in terms of law, after affording necessary opportunity to both sides, without any avoidable delay. If, for any reason, the learned Family Court does not dispose of Ext.P2 within a period of three months from today, the petitioners are left liberty to approach this Court again.
