IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R. No. 2772 of 2011 Date of decision: 28.4.2011 Gurvinder Singh … Petitioner versus Manjit Kaur … Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND KUMAR Present: Mr. Sarwan Singh, Sr.Advocate, with Mr. N.S.Rapri, Advocate, for the petitioner ... ARVIND KUMAR, J: The present petitioner is the husband. He filed a petition under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act for dissolution of the marriage. Resultantly, the respondent-wife Manjit Kaur filed an application under Section 24 of the Act ibid for grant of maintenance pendente lite. The District Judge, Kapurthala, had fixed the maintenance pendente lite to the tune of Rs.4000/- per month from the date of application i.e. 21.12.2010 for her as well as her minor son and Rs.8000/- was granted as litigation expenses. Hence, this revision by the petitioner-husband. Heard. A bare perusal of the impugned order indicates that no evidence had been led with regard of the petitioner that she had withdrawn any amount from the post office towards encashment of Kisan Vikas Patra. However, it is not in dispute that petitioner-husband is working in Railway Coach Factory, Kapurthala. Though his net carry home salary is stated to be Rs.9000/- per month but undisputedly, he gets a gross salary of Rs.15,000/- per month and rest of the amount is deposited by him in his PPF account. Respondent-wife has to maintain herself and the child who is school going. In this backdrop of the facts, the maintenance pendente lite of Rs.4000/- so C.R. No. 2772 of 2011 -2- fixed by the Court below is not excessive. There is no reason to interfere with the impugned order which has rightly been passed. The revision petition stands dismissed.
