IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.1218/2011 Date of decision: 3.3.2011 Smt.Kavita ....................Petitioner v. Jagbir .....................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh Present: Mr.AK Gehlawat,Advocate for the petitioner. Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) Petitioner/wife has filed the instant revision petition under Article 227 of the Constitution praying for modification of the order dated 12.1.2011 (P2) passed by learned Additional District Judge, Sonepat whereby application under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act filed by the petitioner/wife was disposed of by granting maintenance pendente lite @ Rs.2500/- per month to her and Rs.1500/- per month to the minor daughter from the date of filing of the application. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that keeping in view the salary drawn by the respondent husband, the maintenance pendente lite granted to the petitioner/wife and her minor daughter is on the lower side. After hearing the learned counsel, I find no merit in the submission made on behalf of the petitioner wife. The learned Additional District Judge, while granting the maintenance pendente lite has noticed that the respondent husband is working as Clerk in the office of Executive Engineer, Construction Division NO.30,Gohana. His gross salary is Rs.11491/- and his net carry home salary is Rs.6057/-. In view of the aforesaid facts available on record, in my opinion, the maintenance pendente lite granted to the petitioner wife and minor daughter of 1-1/2 years of age cannot be said to be on lower side instead is sufficient to adequately sustain them. Exact equivalence is nowhere contemplated nor possible. For the reasons stated above,finding no merit in this revision petition the same is hereby dismissed. 3.3.2011 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
