In Brief
The Supreme Court heard an appeal against an interim order passed by the Bombay High Court in a family court matter concerning a disputed flat. Rather than adjudicating the interim order on merits, the Court granted leave and requested the High Court to dispose of the underlying Family Court Appeal expeditiously within six months. The Court issued status quo directions to preserve possession and property rights of both parties pending final determination, and prohibited either party from creating third-party access or rights in the property. The appeal was disposed of with no order as to costs.
