FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO.: IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE SIDE WRIT PETITION NO.7186 OF 2007 ------------------------------------:---------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of : Court’s or Judge’s orders. coram, appearances, Court’s orders : or directions and Registrar’s : orders. : ------------------------------------:----------------------------------- Mrs.Leena Sawant, for the petitioner. Mr R.S.Pandit, for the respondent. CORAM: D.B.Bhosale,J. DATED: 03.03.2008 P.C.: Heard learned counsel for the parties. Rule. Mr.Pandit, learned counsel, waives service for the respondent. By consent, rule is made returnable forthwith and heard finally. The petitioner-husband is working in Saudi Arabia and it appears that his salary has been held to be in the sum of Saudi Arabia Riyal (SAR) 2667.78, which the Family Court in the impugned order has, after converting, held to be Rs.one lac per month. There is no dispute that, according to the currency converter table, one SAR is equal to 10.627 Indian rupees. From the calculation made by the learned Judge of the Family Court he seems to have taken one SAR equal to about Rs.46/- and that is how he has calculated salary of the petitioner husband at Rs. one lac per month. Keeping that in view and considering the admission on the part of the respondent-wife that she also works for livelihood and gets Rs.5500/- per month, I am satisfied that the following order shall meet the ends of justice. The petitioner shall pay interim alimony of Rs.6000/- per month to the respondent wife from the date of her application and in addition thereto Rs.7000/- as litigation expenses. The order of the Family Court dated 10.8.2007 impugned in the present writ petition is modified to this extent. The amount which has already been paid/deposited by the petitioner-husband is allowed to be adjusted towards the arrears, if any. The Family Court shall decide the main petition bearing no.A-310 of 2007 without being influenced by the impugned order as well as this order expeditiously. The rule is accordingly disposed of.
