1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO. 2582 OF 2010 (Shivaji K. Chawale vs. Smt. Rekha Shivaji Chawale & Anr.) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. JUNE 23, 2010. Shri Deshpande, learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner – husband is required to pay interim maintenance to minor daughter – Respondent No. 2 in proceedings which are instituted by Respondent No. 1 basically under Section 18 of Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956, by suppressing the divorce between the petitioner and Respondent No.1. He argues that this conduct of Respondent No. 1 creates an apprehension in the mind of the petitioner that amount of maintenance, being paid by him, may not be used for the welfare of Respondent No. 2 – minor and hence Respondent No. 1 should be called upon to give some security for that purpose. He has invited attention of the Court to the order dated 28.12.2009 impugned in this petition for the said purpose and also the order dated 24.11.2008 by which his application under Order 7, Rule 11 of Civil Procedure Code, filed in the said proceedings, was partly allowed. I have heard Shri Deshpande, learned counsel 2 and perused the papers. Respondent No. 1 has tried to obtain interim maintenance for herself and her daughter. The Court below after noticing divorce, has found that the proceedings under Section 18 insofar as wife is concerned, are misconceived and hence she is given liberty to take up appropriate proceedings under Section 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The petitioner has been asked to pay maintenance for minor daughter. I do not find any malafides because of the fact of filing of such proceedings under Section 18 by Respondent No. 1. However, if there are any other grounds available to the petitioner or any other circumstances become available, the petitioner can bring the same to the knowledge of lower Court. In present situation, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter in writ jurisdiction. Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. JUDGE *GS.
