The main petition was filed only in the year 2025 and therefore, it would not be proper for this Court to give any direction to the concerned Court to dispose of this petition expeditiously presuming that many old cases must be pending before it. However, the concerned trial Court is hereby directed to dispose of the application for seeking visitation rights to the children (Annexure P-8) on 28.08.2026 date already fixed or with the next 15 days thereafter, positively, as per law. 6. The present petition stands disposed of accordingly.
