Mahthoom Faiz Vs Mohamed Musthfa Ayeesa Farvin – CA LTA 0003/2020-2021

In the case between Mahthoom Faiz and Mohamed Musthfa Ayeesa Farvin, the court addressed the issue of entitlement to leave to appeal under Section 62(1) of the Muslim Marriage and Divorce Act No.13 of 1951 against the decisions of the Quazi court and the Board of Quazis. It was determined that the application did not disclose sufficient merit, and thus leave to appeal was refused. The principle reaffirmed in this decision is that leave to appeal under the cited statutory provision will not be granted unless merit is clearly demonstrated on the facts and submissions presented. This outcome emphasized strict compliance with statutory thresholds for appellate leave, reinforcing procedural discipline in applications brought under the Act.
