Mr. V.G. Tamaskar, Advocate with Mr. S.D. Khati, Advocate for the appellant, Mr. M.P. Khajanchi, Advocate for the respondent. .......... CORAM : K.J. ROHEE AND PRASANNA B. VARALE, JJ DATED : OCTOBER 1, 2008 1. Heard the learned counsel for the appellant/husband and the learned counsel for the respondent/wife. 2. The wife/present respondent instituted petition for divorce before Civil Judge, Senior Division, Gondia against the appellant/husband. In the said proceeding she also applied for interim maintenance allowance as well as litigation expenses. By order dated 8.4.2008 the trial Court directed the appellant to pay maintenance pendente lite at the rate of Rs.10,000/- per 2 month and litigation expenses at Rs.8,000/-. The husband (present appellant) challenged the said order before the learned Single Judge. By order dated 3.6.2008 the learned Single Judge dismissed the writ petition filed by the appellant/husband. The said order is under challenge. 3. A perusal of the order of the trial Court would reveal that the trial Court has considered the fact that the appellant/husband is a Mechanical Engineer; that he served Abroad for some years and, thereafter, he started his own business of electric motors at Durg. The trial Court has also considered that the couple had two children and both of them are resident with the respondent/wife. It has also been brought to our notice that the defence of the appellant/husband has been struck off. Considering the circumstances of the case, the trial court passed the order which was confirmed by the learned Single Judge. We find no illegality in the impugned order. Letters Patent Appeal is dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE Gulande
