Constitution of India praying therein to direct the Principal Judge, Family Court,
East Singhbhum at Jamshedpur to decide the Original Suit No.880 of 2022
instituted by the petitioner under section 13(1)(ia) of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955
which is still pending.

and in view of that proper direction may kindly be issued to decide the suit at
the earliest.
4. Learned counsel for the sole opposite party submits that section 24
petition is also pending.
5. From the averments made in the petition it is not clear as to how the
learned court is at fault in not disposing of the said original suit at the earliest
and it is for the parties to diligently pursue the said suit for early decision. In
the Constitutional Bench judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of
High Court Bar Association, Allahabad v. State of Uttar Pradesh and Others,
reported in (2024) 6 SCC 267 in paragraph no.47.3 has held that the
Constitutional Courts may in the ordinary course should refrain from fixing a
time bound schedule for the disposal of the cases which is pending before any
other Courts. It is for the concerned courts to prioritize the disposal of the case
and only in exceptional cases the High Court can pass the order of early
disposal.
6. In view of the above, no positive order can be passed for early disposal
of the said suit and it is for the parties to take endeavour for early disposal of
the suit.
7. This petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to pursue the
said suit for its early disposal.
8. This petition is accordingly disposed of.
