IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No. 692 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision: 6.2.2009 Mohan Lal ....Petitioner Versus Smt. Paramjit @ Rekha ...Respondent CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr.B.S. Jaswal, Advocate for the petitioner. RAJESH BINDAL J **** The challenge in the present petition is to the order dated September 22, 2008 passed by the learned Court below wherein in an application filed under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage act, 1955, interim maintenance of Rs. 2,500/- per month has been granted to the respondent/wife. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the amount awarded by the learned Court below is quite on the higher side as the petitioner is merely working as a labourer and his monthly salary is not more than Rs. 5,500/- per month. He is suffering from T.B. For treatment thereof he has to spend substantial amount. However, I do not find any merit in the submission made as the meager amount of Rs. 2,500/- has been granted to the respondent/wife with which she has to maintain herself and also the minor school going son. The present petition is dismissed. (RAJESH BINDAL) 6.2.2009 JUDGE Reema
