Civil Revision Application No. 354 of 2000 MR AM PAREKH for Petitioner No. 1 MR MITUL K SHELAT for Respondent No. 1 -------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM : MR.JUSTICE M.C.PATEL Date of decision: 11/10/2001 ORAL JUDGEMENT Heard learned counsel for the parties. 1. The respondent - wife has already been awarded Rs.325/- per month in the proceeding under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The learned Trial Judge, in the petition filed by the petitioner for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act, has awarded Rs.2000/- per month as interim maintenance under Section 24 of the Act to the respondent - wife. The husband has, therefore, filed this Revision Application challenging the said order. In the facts and circumstances, in my opinion, it will be just and proper if an amount of Rs.1500/- per month is awarded as interim maintenance to the respondent - wife under Section 24 of the Act. This will be in addition to the amount of Rs.325/- per month which has been awarded by the Criminal Court. This means that, in all the respondent - wife will get Rs. 1825/- as maintenance per month. 2. This Civil Revision Application is therefore partly allowed. In the impugned order, the figure of Rs.1500/- is substituted for Rs.2000/-. The rest of the order is confirmed. Rule is made absolute only to the said extent. Interim relief stands vacated.
