JUDGMENT
Dated this the 30th day of April, 2021
Devan Ramachandran, J.
The petitioner has approached this Court seeking that Ext.P1 original petition be directed to be taken out of priority and disposed of at the earliest by the Family Court, Kollam.
2. We are afraid that we cannot accede to the prayers in
the writ petition because another Division Bench of this Court has categorically stipulated the manner in which such motions are to be made by parties requiring early hearing, in Shiju Joy A. v. Nisha [2021 (2) KHC 462 (DB)].
3. In Shiju Joy (supra) this Court is very clear that if a
party intends to seek an early hearing of a case for a justifiable or valid reason, he/she must move an application before the Family Court at the first instance and the said court must dispose it of within two weeks. We do not see any reason why the petitioner be not directed to follow the same.
In the said circumstances, reserving the liberty of the petitioner to approach the Family Court in terms of Shiju Joy (supra), we close this Original Petition. DEVAN RAMACHANDRAN JUDGE M.R. ANITHA SHG JUDGE APPENDIX PETITIONER'S/S EXHIBITS: EXHIBIT P1 THE TRUE COPY OF THE OP NO.408/2019 BEFORE THE HON'BLE FAMILY COURT, KOLLAM.
