Mr.Rajan Desai ..Respondent Smt.Vasanti Bangera for the applicant. Mr.T.D. Deshmukh for the respondent. CORAM : P.B. MAJMUDAR & J.P. DEVADHAR, JJ. DATED : 16TH DECEMBER, 2008 P.C. : 1. By filing this civil application, the Applicant has prayed that since he is required to spent certain amount on his education, the respondent be directed to pay Rs.5,000/- per month towards his educational expenses. By order dated 24th June 2008, the respondent was directed that in view of steep rise in prices, the amount of maintenance towards daughter should be increased to Rs.5,000/- per month and the Division Bench accordingly modified its earlier orders. 2. During the course of hearing, the learned counsel for the respondent submits that the daughter Ridhika is now staying with the father i.e. respondent herein and, therefore, there is no question of paying Rs.5,000/- per month towards her maintenance. However, considering the fact that the applicant - son is required to maintain himself, by way of payment of necessary education fees as well as pocket expenditure to the reasonable extent, we direct that during the pendency of Appeal, the respondent shall pay Rs.3,000/- per month to the applicant - son. Such amount is to be paid from October 2008. The learned counsel for the respondent submitted that the respondent will pay the amount of Rs.3,000/- per month regularly from October 2008 by account payee cheques to the applicant. 3. It is clarified that we are not in any way disturbing the order of payment of licence fee by the respondent at the rate of Rs.3,500/- per month as ordered by the earlier Division Bench. 4. The Office is directed to place Family Court Appeal Nos.88 of 2006 and 89 of 2006 for final hearing on 29-1-2009. 5. The Civil Application is accordingly disposed of. (P.B. Majmudar, J.) (J.P.
