Civil Revision No. 6378 of 2011 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Civil Revision No. 6378 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision:- 19.10.2011 Inderjit ....Petitioner Vs. Smt. Sunita ....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL ****** Present:- Mr. Sandeep Kotla, Advocate, for the petitioner. A.N. JINDAL, J (ORAL) This petition assails the order dated 30.08.2011 (Annexure P-6) passed by the Additional District Judge, Panipat, whereby the respondent-wife has been granted interim maintenance to the tune of Rs.4000/- per month. The trial Court has awarded a sum of Rs.4000/- per month for maintenance to the respondent and her two minor children. However, the trial Court has wrongly recorded that the respondent would be entitled to litigation expenses to the tune of Rs.5500/- per month. But, the litigation expenses could be granted in lump sum. Keeping in view the requirements of two minors and the wife, the amount of maintenance, as awarded by the trial Court, cannot be treated as on the higher side. However, the Civil Revision No. 6378 of 2011 (O&M) 2 litigation expenses at the rate of Rs.5500/- per month appear to be not correct. Therefore, it requires to be modified. Resultantly, this petition is disposed of with modification in the impugned order to the extent that in addition to Rs.4000/- per month as maintenance of the wife and her minor children, she would be entitled to Rs.5500/- on account of litigation expenses.
