This Second Appeal is filed by the husband/original petitioner being aggrieved by grant of permanent alimony in favour of his wife/respondent. Original petition was for divorce under Section 13 (1) (i) of the ( 2 ) Hindu Marriage Act. The Trial Court and the First Appellate Court have held that there was adultery on the part of the respondent and therefore decree for divorce was passed. At the same time the Trial Court awarded Rs. 700/- per month as permanent alimony. The same came to the confirmed by the First Appellate Court. 2. The Second Appeal is filed mainly against the said grant of permanent alimony under Section 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act. It is stated that the appellant is agricultural labourer and Rs.700/- per month alimony is very excessive. It is also said that the appellant has mother and two children living with him and who are dependent on him, so the amount is very excessive. It has come in the evidence that the appellant has agricultural land which is allotted to his share. It is said to be 1.75 acres both by the Trial Court and the First Appellate Court. Considering the prices of basic necessities, Rs. 700/- cannot be said to be very excessive. After giving anxious consideration to the submissions made before me, no substantial question of law arises in this appeal. Hence, this Second Appeal is dismissed at the stage of admission. ( 3 ) 3.
