IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.1889 of 2008 RANJEET KUMAR Versus MUNNI DEVI ----------- 2 01.12.2008 Heard counsel for the petitioner. While this Court would not interfere with the impugned order fixing the cost of litigation of Rs. 1000/- per month, the Court below is directed to reconsider in the matter in the light of the actual expenses that may be involved. Counsel for the petitioner says that the petitioner is prepared to pay lump-sum reasonable amount instead of monthly payment at the rate of Rs. 1000/- per month. Counsel for the petitioner, however, is not in a position to explain as to how much expenditure will be incurred by the wife only in traveling from the place where she is residing, to the Court nor he is aware of the present stage of the case. That being so, the Court below is directed to reconsider the matter with a view that cost of litigation has to be only for the actual expenses for and not by way of any grant of additional monthly income. It is, however, made clear that any order that may be passed, now in view of the fresh application to be filed by the petitioner will take effect from the prospective date and the amount which has already accrued in terms of the impugned - 2 - order will be paid by the petitioner within a period of one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With the aforementioned observations and directions this Civil Revision application is disposed of. Bibhash (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
