Provisions Of CPC Applicable In Proceedings Before Family Court: Allahabad High Court Reiterates

The Allahabad High Court ruled that a writ petition challenging the maintainability of a divorce case under Section 10 of the Family Courts Act is not maintainable. The court held that the Family Court has exclusive jurisdiction to hear and decide matters related to divorce and other matrimonial disputes. The court emphasized that the writ jurisdiction of the High Court cannot be invoked to challenge the proceedings before the Family Court. The court’s decision reinforces the principle of exclusive jurisdiction of Family Courts in matrimonial matters and limits the scope of interference by the High Court in such cases.
