KURIAN, J.
1.    Leave granted.
2.    The appellants approached the High  Court  of  Judicature  at  Mumbai,
aggrieved by an order passed by the Judicial Magistrate,  1st  Class,  Court
No. 2, Nasik dated 07.12.2010 directing them to hand  over  the  custody  of
the child borne to the first respondent.  That order  was  affirmed  by  the
High Court by the impugned order dated 25.08.2011.
3.     By order dated 21.02.2012, the order of the High Court was stayed  by
this Court.
4.    We find that the issue of custody has been pending before  the  Family
Court.  Therefore, we make it clear that the interim  order  passed  by  the
Court shall continue till final orders are passed by the  Family  Court  and
the parties shall abide by the final  outcome/order  passed  by  the  Family
Court, subject to its finality.
5.    With the above directions, the appeal is disposed of.
