Oral Judgment:-

The order challenged in this Civil Revision Application has been passed by the Family Court, Mumbai on 8th June, 2004. By this order, the Family Court has rejected the application filed by the wife for rejecting the Marriage Petition. She had contended in her application that a Marriage Petition filed under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 was not maintainable as she was married to the 1st respondent under the Foreign Marriage Act, 1969. The interim order passed by the Family Court in an application filed under section 27 of the Hindu Marriage Act has been challenged in the writ petition. Since both the Civil Revision Application and the Writ Petition arise from orders passed in the same marriage petition filed before the Family Court, they are being heard together. For the sake of convenience the wife who is the applicant in the Civil Revision Application and the petitioner in the Petition will be hereafter be referred to as the petitioner. The husband who is Respondent No.1 in the Civil Revision Application and the sole Respondent in the Writ Petition will be referred to as the respondent.
