IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 1880 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision : 19.3.2010. Lakhwinder Singh ...... Petitioner Versus Kulwant Kaur .... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NAWAB SINGH Present:- Mr. Jatinder Nagpal, Advocate, for the petitioner. NAWAB SINGH J.(ORAL) Challenge is to the order dated February 22nd, 2010, passed by Additional District Judge, Amritsar, whereby, he allowed maintenance pendente lite to the respondent-wife at the rate of Rs.2,000/- per month besides Rs. 3,500/- as litigation expenses on the application filed by her under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. 2. Only contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the trial Judge had wrongly taken into consideration that the petitioner was owner of a vehicle and as such, would be earning Rs. 5000-6000/- per month, but in fact, he has no vehicle. 3. In these days of inflation, the cost of living is increasing day by day. Prices being what they are, amount of Rs.2000/- per month as maintenance pendente lite shall hardly be sufficient for the respondent-wife. Otherwise also, it was interim maintenance. 4. In this view of the matter, no interference is called for. 5. Dismissed. (Nawab Singh) Judge 19.3.2010 som
