Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that an appeal under Section 29 of the Domestic Violence Act was filed by the petitioner on 09.01.2024, challenging the order dated 04.10.2023 passed under Section 12 of the same Act. Neither the appeal, nor the application for interim relief has been decided yet. In the meantime, vide impugned order dated 17.10.2024, the learned court below, i.e., the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Court No. 28, Lucknow, has passed a consequential order directing for compliance of the order dated 04.10.2023. It is further submitted on behalf of the petitioner that, in case, the order dated 04.10.2023 is complied, the appeal will be rendered infructuous. Hence, he prays that the pending appeal may be directed to be expedited first. In view of the above as well as considering the fact that the appeal filed under Section 29 of the Domestic Violence Act is pending adjudication for the last one year and no order has been passed yet on application for interim relief, the petitioner is disposed of with a direction to the learned Appellate Court to decide the appeal expeditiously and also decide the application for interim relief, if any, within one month from the date of production of a certified copy of this order. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case. Order Date :- 10.2.2025 R.C.
