The SC will pass further order on the day.
On 7 December Japanese citizen Nakano Erico appealed against the High Court (HC) verdict that gave custody rights of her two daughters to their father.
The appeal plea was filed seeking stay on the recent HC verdict, confirmed Eriko's lawyer Shishir Monir to The Business Standard.
"The mother wants custody of the two girls," the lawyer added.
The HC, on 21 November, had directed that the two Japan-born children of Eriko and Bangladesh-born US citizen Imran Sharif will remain with their father.
