CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR MITTAL. PRESENT: Mr. R.S. Bajaj, Advocate for the petitioner. AJAY KUMAR MITTAL, J. C.M. No. 21506-CII of 2009 Allowed as prayed for. C.R. No. 5173 of 2009 In this revision petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the husband-petitioner has challenged the order dated 18.2.2009 (Annexure P-1) passed by the trial court whereby the application filed by the respondent-wife under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (in short “the Act”) for grant of maintenance pendente lite and litigation expenses, was allowed. The trial court while allowing the application filed by the respondent under Section 24 of the Act had awarded a sum of Rs.1500/- per month as maintenance pendente lite and Rs.2500/- as litigation expenses to the respondent-wife. C.R. No. 5173 of 2009 -2- After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and perusing the file, it cannot be said that the quantum of maintenance pendente lite or litigation expenses is excessive in any manner. No illegality or perversity could be found in the impugned order dated 18.2.2009 (Annexure P-1) which may warrant interference by this Court in exercise of its jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. Dismissed. September 9, 2009 (AJAY KUMAR MITTAL) gbs JUDGE
