CRR No. 435 of 2009 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRR No. 435 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 23.7.2012 Smt.Sushila Gupta and another ...Petitioners Versus Ram Babu Gupta ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mr.Lokesh Sinhal, Advocate for the petitioner Mr.GP Singh, Advocate for the respondent **** Jitendra Chauhan, J. (Oral) The present revision petition has been filed against judgment dated 6.10.2009 passed by the learned District Judge, Family Court, Gurgaon, whereby an amount of Rs.1500/- was granted as maintenance pendete lite to the petitioners. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the respondent is working as a Lab. Assistant in Govt. Sr.Sec. School, Bhiwadi and drawing a sum of Rs.12000/- per month. The petitioner is maintaining a minor child. The learned Court below has awarded a sum of Rs.1500/- per month, which is on the lower side. On the other hand, the learned counsel appearing for the respondent has opposed the prayer. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the CRR No. 435 of 2009 (O&M) 2 case file. From the perusal of the case file, it emerges that as per Ex.P1, the petitioner has been drawing a sum of Rs.12065/-. He is a permanent employee of Rajasthan Govt. The petitioner is maintaining a minor child. Therefore, keeping in view the price hike of the basic necessities of the life, this Court feels that the amount granted by the learned District Judge, Family Court, Gurgaon is too meager and the same deserves to be enhanced. Ordered accordingly. The present revision petition is partly allowed; the impugned order dated 6.10.2009 of the learned District Judge, Family Court, Gurgaon is modified and the amount granted towards maintenance pendente lite is enhanced from Rs.15,00/- to Rs.2000/- per month from today. 23.7.2012 (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) gsv JUDGE
