1 fca-146-10 pdp IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION FAMILY COURT APPEAL NO. 146 OF 2010 Adnan Sami Khan .. Appellant Vs. Mrs. Sabah Sami Khan .. Respondent Ms. Laxmi Mordekar i/by M/s. Juris Consillis for appellant. Mrs. Edith Dey for respondent. CORAM: B. H. MARLAPALLE & U. D. SALVI, JJ. NOVEMBER 15, 2010. P.C. We have heard the learned counsel for the appellant and this appeal purportedly filed under Section 19 of the Family Courts Act, 1984 impugns the order dated 15/6/2010 passed by the Family Court at Mumbai thereby rejecting the application filed at Exh.38 in Petition No. A-673 of 2009. The said application was filed by the appellant praying for framing of the preliminary issues of maintainability of the petition filed by the wife 2 fca-146-10 and the jurisdiction of the court to entertain the said petition. The Family Court heard the parties and rejected the application at Exh.38. Section 19 (1) of the Family Courts Act, 1984 specifically states that an appeal shall not lie against an interlocutory order and we have no doubt that the impugned order is an interlocutory order. Hence the appeal is not maintainable and dismissed as such. However, this order will not come in the way of the appellant to resort to other alternative proceedings as may be permissible in law.
