CRP 357/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE I.A. ANSARI Heard Mr. S. Sharma, learned counsel, for the petitioner, and Mr. A. Chamua, lea rned counsel, for the opposite party. The caveat stands discharged. This revision is directed against the order, dated 28.07.2011, passed, in Misc. (J) Case No.50/2011, by the learned District Judge, Nalbari, which arose of an a pplication, made under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, praying for mainten ance pendente lite and also the expenses of the proceeding of Divorce Case No.55 /2010. By the impugned order, the learned Court below has directed the petitioner to pa y a sum of Rs.7,000/- per month as maintenance pendente lite until disposal of h is divorce petition and a sum of Rs.20,000/- as cost of the litigation. Aggrieve d by the direction, so given, the present revision has been filed. While considering the present revision, it may be pointed out that the grievance , as expressed by the revision petitioner, is that though his income, after dedu ction, is to the tune of Rs.44,000/- per month, the learned Court below, while d irecting maintenance pendente lite, to be paid @ Rs.7,000/- per month, did not t ake into account the other dependants of the petitioner, such as, his mother and his children from his second wife. Even if the question of dependency of the pe rsons aforementioned is taken into consideration, the fact of the matter remains that a sum of Rs.7,000/- , as maintenance pendente lite, for a person, who has, otherwise, married the opposite party herein, cannot be said to be arbitrary, u nreasonable or so irrational that it would warrant interference by this Court in exercise of its power under Article 227. As far as the cost of litigation of a sum of Rs.20,000/- is concerned, the same also cannot be said to be illegal or unreasonable. Because of what have been discussed and pointed out above, this Court does not f ind any merit in this revision. This revision is, therefore, not admitted and sh all accordingly stand dismissed. No order as to costs.
