Accordingly, present petition is disposed of with direction to Principal Judge Family Court Lucknow to consider and decide the Suit No.1042/2014(Virendra Kumar Yadav Vs. Smt. Anita Yadav) most expeditiously, after affording full opportunity of hearing to the parties, but without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties preferably within a period of six months from the next date fixed in the case, if possible and if there is no other legal impediment. The benefit of the order would be available to the petitioner if he would appear on the each date fixed in the case. It is made clear that the Court has not examined the case of either of the parties on merits and the authority concerned shall be free to decide the matter strictly in accordance with law.
