The Bombay High Court on Wednesday adjourned the hearing in Adnan Sami's property case lodged by his wife Sabah Galadari till Monday in order to discuss the "maintainability aspect."
The HC adjourned the case after Ravi Kadam, consul for Adnan Sami argued that case was fallout of a matrimonial dispute between the couple and it should hence be referred to the family court. The HC observed that it did not have a jurisdiction over the case and hence needed to discuss the "maintainability of the suit in the High Court."
Afrter lodging a complaint with the Oshiwara police last week about her husband playing loud music at home, Sabah Galadari approached the high court to keep him and his ailing mother out of all his houses.
In a 15-page suit, the 34-year-old citizen of Dubai, who is being represented by former HC judge S U Kamdar, accused the 39-year-old Pakistani crooner of mentally and physically harassing her. She said he "punched her and threw articles at her" and that she was "traumatised by his alcoholism and illicit relationships." According to television news channel NDTV; Sabah has also initiated divorce proceedings.
Claiming a stake on all his flats at Lokhandwala's Oberoi Sky Garden Building based on "five gift deeds executed by Adnan in May 2008" Sabah Galadari said since she was not on talking terms with her in-laws, they should be housed in a hotel at "her cost."
The five flats are inter-connected and serve as one sprawling 6,000 sq ft residence for the couple and their dog. In the same building, Adnan has three more flats to which Sabah has also staked her claim.
