CORAM:
HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SUNIL GAUR
JUDGMENT
ORAL
Petitioner is the wife of respondent, who had sought divorce from respondent and the said petition is pending before the concerned Family
Court.
The grievance made in this petition is that petitioner’s application under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act is pending since August,

2013. Attention of this Court has been drawn to Annexure P-3 (colly) i.e. the various order sheets of the trial court. Vide impugned order of 6th September, 2014, petitioner’s application for early hearing has been dismissed by the concerned family court by noting that there is pendency of about four thousand cases. It may be so but application under Section 24 of the Hindu 2014:DHC:5929 CM(M) No.372/2014 Page 2 Marriage Act is to be accorded priority. Accordingly, this petition is disposed of with direction to the concerned family court to decide petitioner’s application under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act within a period of three months from the date already fixed.
