IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.1021 of 2007 SHAMBHU SINGH YADAV Versus SMT.MEERA YADAV ----------- 2 26.08.2008 Heard counsel for the petitioner. In the opinion of this Court, the impugned order fixing Rs. 1000/- by way of monthly maintenance pendent lite in exercise of power under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, does not suffer from any jurisdictional error nor the same can be said to be excessive in any manner. At this stage, counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in fact ready to still have smooth relationship with the opposite party, the wife and therefore if a sincere effort is made for settlement of the matter by the Court, there is every possibility of the settlement. In case petitioner pays the amount both arrear and current as directed by the Court below and files an application thereafter, the Court below will issue notice for personal appearance of the wife and would make all possible endeavours for an amicable settlement. With the aforementioned observations, this civil revision application is dismissed. Bibhash (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
