IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.639 of 2007 UMESH KUMAR CHOUDHARY Versus SMT.SAVITA DEVI ----------- 2 21.08.2008 Heard counsel for the petitioner. In view of the defiant attitude of the petitioner that he does not want to take back opposite party, wife and is more interested in contesting litigation, this Court would not find any reason to interfere with the impugned granting Rs.1200/- per month by way of monthly maintenance under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act which an appreciation of materials on record is found to be neither illegal nor excessive. Accordingly the court below is directed to ensure that arrears and current amount so fixed by the impugned order must be realized from the petitioner within a period of one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order failing which it shall liberty to take coercive steps for realisation of such amount. With the aforementioned observation and direction this application is dismissed. Bibhash (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
