Aruna Shyam M., learned Senior counsel along with Sri. Gnanesh H. Kempanna, learned counsel appearing for respondent Nos.1 and 2 and have perused the material on record. 3. Learned Senior counsel appearing for the petitioners would submit that he has no objection for the transfer of O.S.No.8124/2024 to the same Court, which is hearing P and SC No.601/2023. His only submission is that the two should not be clubbed, as it would cause prejudice to the rights of the parties. 4. Learned counsel, Sri. Gnanesh H. Kempanna appearing for respondent Nos.1 and 2 submits that the evidence shall be considered together. 5. The said submission does not merit acceptance in the light of the submission of the learned Senior counsel appearing for the petitioners. 6. Therefore, I deem it appropriate to dispose the - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:25868 WP No. 18962 of 2025 petition within an observation that both the matters will be heard by the same Court, but independently. 7. In the light of the frequent circumstance in which the parties are before the concerned Court as also the learned Senior counsel submission that the money for education of the children has been put to jeopardy due to the impending dispute between the parties, I deem it appropriate to infuse certain finality to the proceedings pending before the Court. 8. The concerned Court shall endeavour to conclude the proceedings i.e., whichever proceedings would be able to be concluded within the next six months. With the aforesaid observations, the petition stands disposed. Sd/- (M.NAGAPRASANNA) JUDGE SJK List No.: 1 Sl No.: 67
