Devan Ramachandran , J.

The petitioner seeks that OP No.75/2024 on the files of the learned Family Court, Kozhikode, be disposed of within a time frame to be fixed by this Court.

2. Sri.Praveen K.Joy – learned counsel for the petitioner, pointed out that his client had requested for an expeditious disposal of the Original Petition before the learned Family Court itself, which is discernible from Ext.P5 proceedings sheet; but that the matter has not yet been disposed of, thus constraining his client to approach this Court.

3. We are afraid that we cannot find favour with the afore submissions of Sri.Praveen K.Joy because, we are fully aware of the huge workload every learned Family Courts in Kerala endures. We cannot allow matters filed recently to be taken up and disposed of in priority, though it will be within the province of the learned Family Court itself to do so, if the situation and the circumstances warrant it.

4. This Court has, in Shiju Joy A. v. Nisha [2021 (2) KLT

607], rendered it luculent that in cases where a party requires matter to be disposed of expeditiously, the remedy would be to approach the learned Family Court itself. We do not propose to preclude that liberty
