(1) (901) WP 4131/11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION Amk WRIT PETITION NO. 4131 OF 2011 Kishore Balkrishna Shrimali .. Petitioner Vs. Namrata @ Devka Kishore Shrimali .. Respondent Mr. Manoj M. Gadkari for the Petitioner. Mr. Pradeep M. Chitale for the Respondent. CORAM : MRS. ROSHAN DALVI, J. Date : 17 th August, 2011. P.C. 1. Parties are married and have a child. Maintenance for the child is paid. Maintenance for the wife is not paid on the ground that she left without cause. The husband however is fair enough to offer a separate residence for his wife and child with him. If the husband’s offer is accepted, the marriage itself may be saved. If not, the parties’ contention on merits would have to be seen. 2. Pending the disposal of the petition, the husband must pay some reasonable amount for the wife since the wife is not having any source of income. The husband contends that the amount Rs.3,000/- awarded by the trial Court is an exorbitant amount. The husband shall pay Rs.2,000/- to the wife pending the Petition. The reasonableness or the exorbitance of the amount shall be considered in the Writ Petition (2) (901) WP 4131/11 if the dispute is not settled. 3. The Writ Petition is adjourned to 2nd September, 2011. First on board for order if the dispute is not settled. (ROSHAN DALVI, J.)
