Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the M.C.No.443/2021 is filed in the year 2021. In the light of the difficulties faced by the petitioner there may be a direction to expeditiously dispose of the matter. 3. This petition is pending before the VII Addl. Senior Civil Judge, Bangalore Rural and there are several petitions pending in the said Court. Hence, this Court cannot give a direction to decide a matter of the year 2021 in priority when the matters which are much older are pending before the - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:18711 WP No. 8589 of 2025 Family Court. In that view of the matter, this Court finds no reasons to pass any order to the Trial Court to expeditiously dispose of the matter. Hence, this Court is passing the following: ORDER i. Accordingly, the writ petition is ‘dismissed’. ii. All I.As., in this writ petition shall stand closed. SD/- (LALITHA KANNEGANTI) JUDGE BN List No.: 1 Sl No.: 30
