IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA WRIT PETITION NO. 709 OF 2008 SHRI UMAKANT PUNDALIK PARSEKAR ... Petitioner Versus SMT.SUGANDHI UMAKANT PARSEKAR ... Respondent Mr. Sanjay M. Chodankar, Advocate for the Petitioner. Coram:- R. M. SAVANT, J. Date:- 4th November, 2009 P.C. This Petition takes exception to the Judgment and Order dated 12.06.2008 passed by the learned District Judge-III, Panaji, by which Order, the Order dated 29.01.2008 granting interim maintenance of Rs.10,000/- to the original plaintiff i.e. respondent herein was confirmed. The Writ Petition, therefore, is directed against the Orders passed by the Courts below fixing interim maintenance. 2. Both the Courts below on the basis of the material that was before them, have recorded a finding that the Petitioner's monthly income is to the tune of Rs.20,000/- per month and, therefore, have granted 50% of the said amount to the respondent-wife. In so far as the Lower Appellate Court is concerned, the said material has been considered by it in paragraph 20 of the Order of the Trial Court. 3. It is sought to be contended on behalf of the Petitioner that the income of the Petitioner is not Rs.20,000/- but much less and, therefore, the interim maintenance fixed by the Courts below at Rs.10,000/- is exorbitant. As indicated above, the said interim maintenance has been fixed by the Trial Court on the basis of the material that was before them. Since it is an interim maintenance, it would be open for the Petitioner to adduce such evidence as is necessary in support of his case i.e. that his income is not Rs.20,000/- in the trial. However, in so far as the present challenge is concerned, the submissions of the Petitioner in the teeth of the findings of the Courts below cannot be accepted. 4. In that view of the matter, no case for interference in writ jurisdiction is made out. 5. Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. R. M. SAVANT, J. arp/*
