1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO. 3197 OF 2010. Anand Gajanan Moolay -: VERSUS :- Smt. Madhuri Anand Moolay Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATED : JULY 16, 2010. Heard Shri A. Deshpande, learned counsel for petitioner. Respondent-wife filed proceedings under Section 18 of Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, and in that present petitioner filed an application seeking stay, pointing out that the judgment and decree granting him divorce passed on 25.05.2004 is pending challenge in First Appeal No.706/2004. He therefore, sought stay of those proceedings. The Judge, Family Court No.4, Nagpur has rejected that prayer. 2 Shri Deshpande, learned counsel contends that if the appeal is dismissed, the divorce decree will stand and proceedings as filed under Section 18 of the Act, will be misconceived. He relies upon the judgment of this Court reported at 2002 [2] Mh.L.J. 53 (Panditrao Chimaji Kalure .vrs. Gayabai Panditrao Kalure), to urge that the remedy to respondent at the most was only under Section 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act. The Family Court found that the decree of divorce is stayed by this Court in First Appeal No. 706/2004 and therefore the relationship subsists. It is apparent that if petitioner is already paying any interim maintenance to respondent, the same will be looked into while considering the proceedings under Section 18 of the Act, by the Family Court. I am therefore, not inclined to interfere in the matter in writ jurisdiction. Writ Petition is thus dismissed, with no order as to costs. JUDGE Rgd.
