Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? **** Present: Mr. R.S. Mamli, Advocate for the petitioner **** SURYA KANT J.(ORAL) (1). The petitioner is aggrieved at the order dated 15.10.2009 passed by the learned Additional District Judge, Kurukshetra, whereby, the respondent-wife has been granted interim maintenance of Rs.3000/- p.m. which includes Rs.1000/- p.m. to maintain the minor female child born out of their wedlock. The wife has been granted Rs.2000/- p.m. towards the interim maintenance. (2). Learned counsel for the petitioner vehemently contends that petitioner is not running any Kiryana shop in Mohalla Kirti Nagar, Kurukshetra, as alleged by the wife and is rather a daily-wager only. (3). Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at some length, I do not find any ground to interfere with the impugned order. CR No.6222 of 2009 - 2 - (4). It is well-settled that every able body person has to maintain its spouse and the minor child. In this era of high prices, the amount of interim maintenance, determined by the learned Additional District Judge, might be sufficient only for the bare sustenance and cannot be said to be on the higher side. (5). No ground to interefere with the impugned order dated 15.10.2009 passed by the Ld. Additional District Judge, Kurukshetra, is made out. (6). Dismissed. (7). Dasti.
