Petition No. A-566/2000 and Civil Writ Petition No. 2395/2002, we are not inclined to consider prayer in the application, in so far as entitlement of arrears as to interim maintenance, which can only be decided on final hearing of Letters Patent Appeal. Therefore the application is rejected. 2. It will be open for the parties to move the court after summer vacation 2007, to take up the Letters Patent Appeal for final hearing, considering the fact that they are senior citizens.
