C.R. No. 4208 of 2009 (1) IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No. 4208 of 2009 Date of Decision: 28.7.2009 Amit Kumar Sharma ......Petitioner Versus Vijay Laxmi .......Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA. 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Shri G.C. Shahpuri, Advocate, for the petitioner. HEMANT GUPTA, J. (Oral). The husband is in revision aggrieved against the order passed by the learned District Judge on 10.6.2009 declining an application for maintenance pendente lite filed by the petitioner-husband. The petitioner has sought dissolution of marriage and by way of the aforesaid application, he has sought maintenance pendente lite and litigation expenses on the ground that the wife is gainfully employed as a J.B.T. Teacher, whereas the petitioner is unemployed. The learned trial Court has found that the petitioner is registered as a Pharmacist with the Haryana Pharmacist Council. He is the only son of his parents having double storey house, besides two shops and other properties. Since the petitioner was found to be a qualified pharmacist, the C.R. No. 4208 of 2009 (2) learned District Judge, has rightly found that it cannot be believed that the petitioner is unable to maintain himself. If the petitioner is not working despite the fact that he is a qualified Pharmacist, he cannot claim maintenance as he is an able bodied person and capable of making earnings. Consequently, I do not find any illegality or irregularity in the impugned order, which may warrant interference by this Court, in exercise of its revisional jurisdiction. Hence, the present petition is dismissed. (HEMANT GUPTA) JUDGE 28-07-2009 ds
