: 1 : vss IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.5671 OF 2009 Arti A. Gothal ... Petitioner V/s. Anil Amrut Gothal ... Respondent Mr.S.S. Hardikar for Petitioner None for Respondent CORAM: SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATED: 13th JULY, 2009 P.C.: 1. This petition challenges the order dated 4.3.2009 rejecting the application filed by the petitioner for interim maintainance. Several reasons have been given by the Joint Civil Judge Senior Division, Thane for rejecting the application. It is also observed in the impugned order that the evidence in the case has already begun and the cross-examination of the respondent i.e. the petitioner herein had been concluded. In these circumstances, the application has been rejected. 2. In my view, there is no need to entertain the petition at this stage when the proceedings before the Joint Civil Judge Senior Division, Thane are at the fag end. However, any observations made in the impugned order reflecting upon the petitioner’s right to maintainance shall be treated as prima facie. The learned Judge while passing the final orders will not be influenced by the prima facie findings which have been recorded in the impugned order. 3. Petition rejected.
