IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.1529 of 2007 SHYAM PANDIT Versus SABITA KUMARI ----------- 2 28.08.2008 No one appears for the petitioner. In the opinion of this Court, amount of Rs. 700/- per month by way of interim maintenance under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, cannot be said to be either excessive or illegal specially when it is taken into consideration that in the said amount not only wife but a child has also to be maintained. In that view of the matter, this Court would not find any reason to interfere with the impugned order and accordingly, this Civil Revision application is dismissed. The Court below is directed to ensure that both arrears and current amount so fixed by the impugned order must be realized from the petitioner within a period of one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
