There is a delay of 40 days in filing the appeal. The appeal is filed against the order passed by the Family Court, Malappuram directing payment of maintenance at the rate of Rs.2,000/- per month to the minor daughter of the petitioner and that too for a period of one year. A total sum of Rs.24,000/- alone is directed to be paid in respect of a seven year old girl child. We do not see any reason to condone the delay. We dismiss the application to condone the delay. Consequently the appeal is also dismissed. (K.M. JOSEPH) Judge (M.L. JOSEPH FRANCIS) Judge tm
