JUDGMENT
K. V. JAYAKUMAR, J.
The petitioner herein is the 2nd respondent in O.P(Others)
No.1432/2022 on the file of the Family Court, Alappuzha. The said
original petition was filed by the 1 st respondent for return of gold and
money from the petitioner and the 2 nd respondent herein. The
petitioner is the father of the 2nd respondent.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that when
the matter was posted before the Family Court, the petitioner could not
appear and an ex parte judgment and decree was passed against him.
Eventhough, the petitioner filed an application to set aside the ex parte
judgment and decree in the aforementioned OP, the Family Court has
not disposed of I.A.No.5/2024 so far. In the meanwhile, 1 st respondent
filed EP No.13 of 2025 for the execution of the decree.
3. Considering the nature of the reliefs claimed herein in this
OP, we deem it appropriate that the notice to the respondents could be
dispensed with.
4. The grievance of the petitioner is that the petition filed by 2025:KER:33247 OP (FC) NO. 259 OF 2025
him for setting aside the exparte decree and judgment has not been
considered by the Family Court so far.
Upon hearing the submission of the petitioner we are of the
view that this petition can be disposed of with the following direction:
The Family Court, Alappuzha, shall consider
I.A.No.5/2024, filed by the petitioner herein, at the earliest,
preferably within a period of three weeks from the date of
receipt of a copy of this judgment. Till then, there will be
an interim stay of all further proceedings in
E.P. No.13/2025.
