06.10.2022 passed by learned Additional Principal Judge, Family Court, Gorakhpur, in proceedings under Section 18 of the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956.

¶3Having heard learned counsel for the parties and having perused the record, in face of main proceeding being still pending and keeping in mind the nature and scope of such proceeding claiming maintenance, we are not inclined to offer any interference against the interlocutory order passed by the learned court below restraining the appellant from disposing of his property pending the main proceedings.
