1 cam128.10 ast IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 128 OF 2010 IN FAMILY COURT APPEAL NO.63 OF 2010 Mrs. Nirmala B. Katke. ....Applicant. Vs. Mr.Bhima L. Katke. ....Respondent. Mr. R.P.Ojha i/b. Mr. Sunil Singh for applicant. Mr. S.J.Shelke for respondent. CORAM:- A.M.KHANWILKAR AND A.A.SAYED, JJ DATED:- JULY 29, 2010 P.C. 1. By this application, two reliefs have been claimed. The first relief regarding stay of operation of the impugned Judgment and Decree is concerned, that is already granted in terms of the Order dated 9th July, 2010. By this order, we are considering only relief in terms of prayer clause (b), which is to award maintenance compensation to the applicant wife at the rate of Rs.3,000/- per month by way of interim arrangement during the pendency of the appeal. Having considered the rival submissions, even though we may agree with the 2 cam128.10 submission of the appellant that the appeal has been admitted by this court on being prima facie satisfied that amongst others, finding recorded by the trial Court in relation to the issue No.4 is manifestly wrong. Even so, for considering prayer for interim maintenance, if we were to wade through the entire evidence to consider whether the finding in relation to the issue No.4 is justified, that would be as good as deciding the entire appeal at this interim stage. Therefore, it is not possible to record a finding in favour of the applicant wife in that behalf. Instead, we may direct the respondent to continue to pay maintenance amount to the wife at the rate of Rs.500/- per month as was awarded by the trial Court during the pendency of the proceedings vide order dated 22nd January, 2008. In so far as maintenance amount awarded by the trial Court by the impugned Judgment and Order dated 22nd February, 2010 is concerned, that would be in addition to the liability of the respondent husband to pay maintenance to wife at the rate of Rs.500/- per month during the pendency of the appeal. 2. Application disposed of on the above terms. (A.A.SAYED, J) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J)
