Case :- MATTERS UNDER ARTICLE 227 No. - 5619 of 2019 Petitioner :- Ankit Raj Respondent :- The Principal Judge Family Court Muzaffarnagar And Another Counsel for Petitioner :- Jagdish Prasad Mishra
Hon'ble Manoj Kumar Gupta,J.
The prayer made in the instant petition is for issuing direction to the court below to decide Petition No.908 of 2017 under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, within specified time frame.
A perusal of order sheet reveals that the defendant has already entered appearance and is contesting the proceedings.
Section 21-B of the Hindu Marriage Act specifically provides that all proceedings under the Act should be held on a day to day basis and effort should be made to conclude the proceedings as far as possible within six months from the date of service of the petition on the respondent.
In view of the aforesaid provisions under the Act, I am of the opinion that no further direction is required.
The petition is accordingly disposed of.
