JUDGMENT
The original petition is filed to direct the Court of
the Additional District Judge-I, North Paravur, to
consider and dispose of O.P.(Guardian) No.85/2022
(Ext P1) within a time frame.
2. Pursuant to the order dated 20.01.2023
passed by this Court, the learned District Judge, by
communication dated 30.01.2023, has informed this
Court that the above original petition is filed to appoint
the petitioners as the legal guardian of the minor
children. The original petition stands posted to
09.03.2023 for effecting public notice regarding the
claim of the petitioners and for affixture of notice in
the notice boards of the Panchayat and Village Officers,
where the property is situated. Even though the order
was passed on 11.01.2023, the petitioners took steps
only later. Hence, the case was adjourned to O.P.(C)No.151/2023
09.03.2023. It is seen that the property sought to be
sold is mortgaged with LIC Housing Finance Limited.
If there is no objection from any quarters, after the
completion of the statutory steps, the court below
would make an endeavour to dispose of the original
petition on or before 13.04.2023.
3. Heard; Smt. T.M. Fathima, the learned
counsel appearing for the petitioners.
In the light of the pleadings and materials on
record and after perusing the communication of the
learned District Judge, and taking into consideration
the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case that
the properties are to be sold for the paramount welfare
and best interest of the minor children, I am of the firm
opinion that a lenient view is to be taken in the matter
in the interest of the children by directing the court
below to consider and dispose of O.P.(Guardian)
No.85/2022, as expeditiously as possible. O.P.(C)No.151/2023
Resultantly, in exercise of the supervisory powers
of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of
India, I direct the Court of the Additional District
Judge-1, North Paravur, to consider and dispose of O.P.
(Guardian) No.85/2022, in accordance with law, if
there is no objection from any third party, as
expeditiously as possible, at any rate, on or before
31.03.2023.
The original petition is ordered accordingly.
