In the High Court for the States of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh. CR No.5830 of 2010 (O&M) Decided on 10.9.2010. Narender Kumar --Petitioner vs. Sushma Rani -- Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. Jigyasa Tanwar, Advocate,for the petitioner Rakesh Kumar Jain, J,(Oral) This revision petition is directed against the order dated 26.7.2010 passed by learned Addl. District Judge Karnal by which interim maintenance @ Rs.2000/- per month has been fixed along-with litigation expenses of Rs.1100/-. Learned counsel for the petitioner,inter-alia, contends that the Court below has erred in fixing maintenance because the respondent/wife has herself stated that she is earning Rs.5000/- per month which is sufficient for her and her both the children. She has further stated that Section 24 of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 provides that interim maintenance has to be given to either spouse if they are not having sufficient income to maintain. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. CR No.5830 of 2010 (O&M) -2- The petitioner has admitted in the reconciliation proceedings that he is earning Rs.15,000/-Rs.16,000/- per month. Even if the respondent/wife has made a statement that she is earning Rs.5000/- per month which is sufficient for her maintenance and also for the maintenance of her two minor children, this Court is of the view that the same is not sufficient for the maintenance of three humans beings. The petitioner is thus directed to make the payment of the interim maintenance fixed by the trial Court within one month. In view of the above, I do not find any error in the order of the trial Court and as such, this revision petition is dismissed. 10.9.2010 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) RR Judge
