RESPONDENT (s) CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr. Bhim Sen Sehgal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R.K.Arya, Advocate for the respondent. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present revision petition has been filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India for setting aside order dated 17.09.2009 passed by learned Additional District Judge, Gurdaspur vide which the petitioner has been directed to pay a sum of `6,000/- per month as maintenance pendent-lite to the respondent and `2,000/- to minor child from the date of application i.e. 22.01.2007. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record including the impugned order passed by learned trial Court. CR No.6534 of 2009 A coordinate Bench of this Court while issuing notice of motion on 31.03.2010 passed the following order:- “CM No.8124-C-II of 2010 Application is allowed and Annexure P-9 is taken on record, subject to all just exceptions. Main case Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the learned trial court has allowed maintenance pendente lite @Rs.8,000/- per month for the respondent and the minor child w.e.f. 22.01.2007 i.e. the date of filing application under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, but at that time, salary of the plaintiff was just Rs.12,639/- per month, as depicted by certificate Annexure P-9 and therefore, the maintenance amount for the earlier period (prior to passing of order) is excessive, although the petitioner is ready to pay the awarded amount since the date of order of the trial court i.e. 17.09.2009. Notice of motion for 14.05.2010. Meanwhile, if the petitioner pays maintenance @Rs,6000/- per month since 22.01.2007 till 31.08.2008 and further maintenance @Rs.8000/- per month since 01.09.2008, recovery of the balance amount under the impugned order shall remain stayed.” It has been stated by learned counsel for the parties that main petition has since been decided and that however, appeal against the same is pending before this Court. It has also been stated by learned counsel for the parties that pursuance to order dated 31.03.2010 passed by this Court interim maintenance has already been paid by petitioner to respondent. Hence, in view of these facts, the impugned order passed by learned trial Court is modified in terms of interim order passed by this Court dated 31.03.2010 and the said order is, hereby, made absolute. 2 CR No.6534 of 2009 Disposed of accordingly.
