Well, it takes time in Court formalities, you need to keep some patience. However, if you have urgency, I can file an application over there to expedite your process, but for this, you have to tender Vakalatnama in my favor.

Dear client based on your query,
Since the court said it will take 8 Days, it's likely to be received within that time ,provided there are no holidays or documents issues.
If it's delayed beyond that you can file for a compliance application for further details you can contact us and we will help you regarding the same.

The delay beyond the committed 8 days is unreasonable. While minor administrative delays are common, if it has already been over 20 days, the court staff may be neglecting the disbursement. You have the right to file a mention or reminder application before the family court or approach the court registry for immediate compliance with the High Court’s withdrawal order. If the court still delays, further legal steps can be taken to compel timely release of your maintenance amount. I can assist you in taking swift action to avoid any further delay and secure your rightful maintenance.
