Bombay High Court (Madhav J. Jamdar, J.), Writ Petition No. 824 of 2025, decided 21 August 2025 — Pooja W/o Aakash Mhaske v. Aakash S/o Subhash Mhaske. The petitioner-wife sought the sole relief that Marriage Petition No. A-2349 of 2021, pending before the 6th Court of Family Court at Bandra, Mumbai, be directed to be disposed of within eight months. Relying on the Supreme Court's decision in High Court Bar Association, Allahabad v. State of Uttar Pradesh, (2024) 6 SCC 267, the Court held that in the ordinary course Constitutional Courts should refrain from issuing such time-bound disposal directions, and accordingly disposed of the Writ Petition without granting the relief. When the petitioner's counsel pointed out that an interim maintenance application had been pending since 2021 before the Family Court at Bandra, the Court requested the learned Judge, Family Court, Mumbai to dispose of the interim maintenance application expeditiously.
