                                    JUDGMENT

This Original Petition has been filed challenging the order

passed by the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Chavakkad in

C.M.P No.4318/2018 in M.C.No.250/2018 dated 22.12.2018.

2. The petitioner herein is the husband of the 1 st

respondent. The 2nd respondent is the child born out of the

wedlock of the petitioner and the 1 st respondent. The 1st

respondent preferred M.C.No.250/2018 against the petitioner

herein claiming various reliefs under Section 12 of the Protection

of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 (for short 'the DV

Act'). An interim application has also been filed by the 1 st

respondent herein under Section 23 of the DV Act claiming

interim protection order. The said petition was dismissed as per

Ext.P5 order. The said order is under challenge in this Original

Petition.

Having heard both sides, I am of the view that this Original

Petition can be disposed of with a direction to the learned

Magistrate to dispose of the M.C itself as expeditiously as

possible, at any rate, within a period of six months from the date

of receipt of a copy of this judgment.

The Original Petition (Crl.) is disposed of.
