JUDGMENT
Petitioner has approached this Court seeking a direction to the court below to dispose of Ext.P8 application filed by him challenging the sustainability of the petition filed by the wife invoking section 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005.
2. I have called for a report from the learned magistrate regarding the stage of the above case. Learned magistrate has reported that C.M.P.No.727 of 2015 was advanced and it is posted for objection. Having regard to the fact that the case is of the year 2015 and the further fact that Ext.P8 application does not refer to any specific legal ground on which the sustainability of the case itself is based, I feel that rather than directing the court below for piecemeal consideration of the matter, entire case to be taken up and disposed of at the earliest.
In the result, original petition is disposed of with a direction to the court below to take up the entire case and dispose of the matter as expeditiously as possible.
