THIS OP (CRIMINAL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
12.08.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
OP(CRL.) NO. 237 OF 2021 2
JUDGMENT
The petitioners are the respondents in M.C.No.37 of 2019
pending before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-I,
Nedumangad. This original petition has been filed seeking the following
reliefs:
"i) that an order be passed directing the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-I, Nedumangad, to finally hear and dispose of M.C.No.37 of 2019, within a time limit to be fixed by this Hon'ble Court.
And
ii) To grant such other reliefs as this Honourable Court deems fit and proper to grant in the facts and circumstances of the case."
2. When this Original Petition was admitted before this Court, I
have called for a report through Registry from the court concerned
regarding the time required for disposal of the case. The learned
Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Nedumangad by a letter dated
9.8.2021 has submitted that three months time is required for disposal
of the case.
3. Considering the pendency of the case before the court I find
that there is justification for requesting three months time for disposal
of the case, though the case is filed under the Protection of Women
from Domestic Violence Act. Therefore, the request is accepted.
The learned Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Nedumangad shall
dispose of M.C.No.37 of 2019 within a period of three months from the
date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
