Ex-wife drags Adnan Sami to court
Their divorce attained finality, but their legal battle is far from over. Pakistani singer AdnanSami and media heiress SabahGaladari, who he was twice married to, were back in the Bombay high court on Tuesday. Sabah had filed an appeal before a two-judge bench against an order of a single judge of the Bombay HC asking her to move to another flat.
She has questioned the judge's modification of a June 2010 family court order which had allowed her to stay in the spacious five in-one residence at Lokhandwala Complex in Andheri (W) along with Sami and his new wife. She moved the HC for an order to have him and his wife removed from the Andheri house at Oberoi Sky Garden, which she claims was not only purchased with her money but was also gifted to her by Sami. The HC judge, in October 2010, directed that Sabah could reside in another flat in the same building or in their older home at Versova.
Sabah then filed the appeal which came up for hearing before a bench headed by Justice V M Kanade on Tuesday. For Sami, who said he had withdrawn the gift deed, counsel S G Aneyraised the issue of maintainability of her appeal on techno-legal grounds. He said if the court holds against him on the maintainability, he was ready to challenge it in the Supreme Court.Aney also said that "all eight flats belonging to Sami have been confiscated by government authorities''.
Sabah's counsel Mahesh Jethmalani said, "If he can stay there, so can she." The HC will pass an order on Wednesday if it should continue hearing the matter.
