¶2The party in person/Wife had sought as many as 9 prayers. Except prayer number IV, the other reliefs cannot be considered by this Court. By way of prayer number IV, the party in person is seeking expeditious disposal of the Crl.Misc.No.216/2023 and M.C.No.217/2022, on the file of the Family Court, Bengaluru. There is huge pendency on the file of the Family Court, even matters of 2017 are pending for adjudication. The Apex Court, in the case of High Court Bar Association, Allahabad Vs. The State of Uttar Pradesh in Crl.A.No.3589/2023 dated 29.02.2024, had observed that the High Court cannot casually direct the trial Court to dispose of the matter unless it warrants interference. This case is not an

exceptional case warranting this Court's interference. Accordingly, this Court is passing the following: ORDER i. Accordingly, Writ Petition is dismissed. ii. All pending I.As., in the writ petition shall stand closed.
