1 Bsb IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CIVIL APPLICATION NOs. 526 OF 2005 AND 3286 OF 2003 IN FIRST APPEAL NO. 1190 OF 2003 Hasan Imtiaz Shaikh ... Applicant v/s Fakira Jafar Shaikh & ors. ... Respondents Mr.M.M.Sathaye for the applicant. None present for the respondents. CORAM: SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATED: 28TH AUGUST, 2009 P.C.: 1. Civil application No.526 of 2005 has been filed for an expeditious hearing of Civil Application No. 3286 of 2003. 2. Civil Application No. 3286 of 2003 has been filed for interim custody of the minor child Sultan. According to the applicant, his son Sultan is about 15 years’ of age today and in these circumstances, 2 the Civil Application No.3286 should be heard and decided immediately. 3. In my view, rather than deciding the Civil Application No.3286 of 2003 at this stage, it would be appropriate to decide the fist appeal itself in order to avoid duplication of the arguments. 4. Accordingly, both the civil applications are disposed of with the direction that the First Appeal No.1190 of 2003 shall be placed on board for final hearing on 24.9.2009. ..... 3
