In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh Civil Revision No. 5131 of 2008 (O&M) Date of decision: August 21, 2009 Sukhbir Singh .. Petitioner Vs. Sonia alias Sona .. Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. R.S. Mamli, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Godara, Advocate for the respondent. A.N. Jindal, J Assailed in this petition is the order dated 5.9.2008 passed by the learned Additional District Judge, Yamuna Nagar, whereby the application moved by the respondent-wife under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, was allowed. The only argument advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner is that in an application moved under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, no maintenance could be awarded to the children. But, this argument is not tenable as it is settled by now that the court, during the pendency of the petition under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, and on the application filed by the wife, the maintenance could be awarded to the wife as well as to her children. No grounds to interfere. Dismissed. August 21, 2009 (A.N. Jindal) deepak Judge
