IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYNA AT CHANDIGARH. CR 2221 of 2011 Date of decision: 19.4.2011 Vinod Petitioner vs. Maya Respondent Present: Mr. H.O. Sharma, Advocate. M.M.S.BEDI,J. This revision petition has been preferred against order dated 26.11.2010 passed by the District Judge( Family Court ), Hisar granting interim maintenance @ 2500/- per month to the respondent-wife besides granting litigation expenses of Rs. 3300/- while deciding application u/s 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner, during the course of arguments, submits that the respondent has started living with the earlier employer of the petitioner and that the matter has been brought to the notice of the members of the community. Respondent has filed an application for divorce taking advantage of her wrong . A prayer has been made to call both the parties and send the matter to the Mediation and Reconciliation Centre. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. On merits, I do not find any ground to interfere in the order passed by the Family Court in exercise of power u/s 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act but so far as the attempt for Reconciliation and final settlement between the parties is concerned, it will always be open to the petitioner to make a request to the Family Court to settle the matrimonial discord amicably between the parties. However, a direction is issued to the Family Court to make an attempt to amicably resolve the controversy by referring the matter to Lok Adalat. Disposed of. April 19 ,2011 ( M.M.S.BEDI ) TSM JUDGE
