These two writ petitions arise from common order passed by the Family Court on the application at Exhibit-14 filed by the wife seeking interim alimony from her husband. The Family Court, while disposing of the application, issued the following directions which read thus: The petitioner is hereby directed to pay Rs.7500/- per month to the respondent towards the maintenance of herself and the minor daughter with effect from the date of application,i.e.10.11.2006. The petitioner shall pay arrears at the rate of Rs.4000/- per month (maintenance decided Rs.7500-Rs.3500 being paid every month) from 10.11.2006 to 9.5.2007 , total Rs.24,000/- in three equal monthly instalment. The petitioner is directed to pay regularly monthly maintenance allowance on or before 10th day of every month until the petition is finally disposed of. In addition to this, he shall pay Rs.5000/- lumpsum to the respondent to enable her to bear the costs of litigation The application is accordingly disposed of." Learned counsel for the parties have fairly stated that I need not examine merits of these two writ petitions and they have agreed for the following order: (a) The Family Court shall endeavour to dispose of Petition No.A-1210 of 2006 filed by the husband for divorce as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of eight months from the date of receipt of this order on merits in accordance with law. Parties have agreed to cooperate for disposal of the petitions within the timeframe. The Family Court shall also deal with the issue of permanent alimony while disposing of the petitions for divorce uninfluenced by the observations made in the impugned order.The writ petitions, accordingly, stand disposed of.
