What the Case Was About
Samina and Rahisuddin got married according to Muslim rites and customs on November 15, 2021. Soon after, serious marital problems cropped up between them. Because their relationship broke down, a divorce case was filed and ended up sitting in the Family Court at Mathura as Case Number 626 of 2025. Tired of waiting for the case to crawl along, Samina approached the High Court with a single request: please tell the lower court to finish the matter quickly so she can move on with her life.
Judgment Date
14 October, 2026
The Outcome
The court ruled in favour of the petitioner and disposed of the writ petition by directing the family court to conclude the divorce proceedings within six months.
What the Court Looked At
- The marriage took place on November 15, 2021, and a matrimonial dispute led to a pending divorce petition at Mathura.
- The petitioner's only prayer was for the speedy and expeditious disposal of her divorce case.
- The court decided that keeping the matter pending or asking the other side to file a written reply was unnecessary and a waste of time.
"requiring the Principal Judge, Family Court, Mathura to proceed with the Case No. 626 of 2025 and conclude the same within a period of six months"
