Applicant) v/s. Sucheta @ Jaya Satish Thakur (Gaikwad) .. Respondet (Orig. Opponent) ......... Mr. Anand S. Kulkarni for the petitioner ......... CORAM : R.Y.GANOO, J. DATE : 17th MARCH, 2011 P.C. : 1. The petitioner has filed this petition for judicial separation in the Court of Civil Judge Senior Division at Solapur (hereinafter referred to as the said Court). In the said petition the respondent has filed an application at Exh.27 for interim maintenance. That application has been decided by the learned IInd Joint Civil Judge Senior Division, Solapur. By order dated 3rd December, 2010 learned Judge has granted maintenance to the respondent in the sum of Rs.3,000/- from the day of the application at Exh.27 till the disposal of the petition. 2. Learned Counsel for the petitioner fairly conceded that his income is in the vicinity of Rs.19,000/-. He stated across the bar that he is : 2 : cwp-1183-11=.sxw taking care of two sons as well as the respondent. According to the petitioner, respondent is residing in the house where the petitioner is staying. 3. Learned Judge while deciding the application at Exh. 27 rightly considered the requirement of the respondent and has rightly noted the income of the petitioner and has properly arrived at the figure of maintenance of Rs.3,000/-. Merely because the respondent is staying in the very house where the petitioner is staying, it cannot be observed that the quantum of maintenance is on the higher side. Surely, if at all, the petitioner wants that respondent should stay away, he will have to shell out some more amount to see that accommodation is secured for the respondent. 4. After taking into consideration the fact that the respondent is residing in the same house where the petitioner is residing, the learned Judge has fixed the figure of Rs.3,000/-. In my view, no interference is required in the impugned order. Hence, petition is dismissed at the stage of admission. Hence, following order is passed. Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. (R.Y.GANOO, J.)
