IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MA No.610 of 2009 ABHISHEK VERMA @ CHUNNUJI, son of Gopalji Gupta, resident of Mohalla – Bichli Road Tari, PA Ara Town, District Bhojpur, Ara ….Plaintiff-Appellant Versus KHUSBU KUMARI @ KHUSBU DEVI, wife of Abhishek Verma, daughter of Ashok Kumar Shaumeyari in front of Dr. Chamaru, PO Ara Nagar, PS Ara Town, District Bhojpur ….Defendant-Opp.Party ----------- 03- 13.11.2009 Heard Mr. Madanjeet Kumar for the appellant. This appeal under clause 19(1) of the Family Court Act 1984, has been filed against the order dated 16.10.2009, passed in Matrimonial Case No.208 of 2008 (Abhishek Verma vrs. Khusbu Kumari), whereby as an interim measure the appellant has been directed to pay a sum of Rs.3000/- per month to the respondent on every first week of succeeding month, apart from a consolidated amount of Rs.10000/- towards the litigation expenses. 2. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the appellant. It appears to us that the appellant is married to the respondent. He has filed the aforesaid Matrimonial Case no.208 of 2008 before the Family Court, Ara, for a decree of divorce. The main matter is still pending there, and as an interim measure, the learned trial court has passed the aforesaid order. In view of the discussion in the impugned order, we are of the view that the learned Family Court has passed a just and equitable order. We are, therefore, not inclined to interfere with the same. The appeal is accordingly dismissed. 3. The learned Family Court shall endeavour to dispose of the main matter expeditiously, inter alia, for the reason that the 2 impugned order is of interim nature. It goes without saying that it will be open to the learned Family Court to consider the question of payment of maintenance to the respondent, if the occasion arises, afresh at the time of disposal of the main matter.
