Under Section 19 of the Family Courts Act, 1984, against an interlocutory order passed by a Family Court:

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 19(1) of the Family Courts Act, 1984 provides for appeals on facts and law to the High Court from eligible non-interlocutory judgments and orders, subject to subsection (2), which excludes consent decrees or orders and the specified maintenance orders. Section 19(4) authorises High Court review of qualifying non-interlocutory maintenance orders under Chapter IX of the former Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, corresponding to Chapter X of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. Section 19(5) bars other appeals and revisions. A genuinely interlocutory order therefore attracts neither an appeal nor a revision under Section 19.

Option feedback

Option A

Incorrect. Under Section 19(1) of the Family Courts Act, 1984, an appeal lies to the High Court only from a judgment or order 'not being an interlocutory order' of a Family Court.

Option B

Section 19(4) authorises High Court review of specified maintenance orders that are non-interlocutory. Section 19(5) bars other statutory appeals and revisions.

Option C

Section 19 directs statutory appeals to the High Court. It provides no appeal to the District Judge.

Option D

Correct. Under Section 19(1), 19(4), and 19(5) of the Family Courts Act, 1984, both appeal and revision are expressly barred against an interlocutory order of a Family Court.
