In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh Civil Revision No. 2629 of 2009 Date of decision: May 08, 2009 Manjit Singh .. Petitioner Vs. Poonam and another .. Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. Padamkant Dwivedi, Advocate for the petitioner. A.N. Jindal, J The respondent Poonam was awarded Rs.2000/- per month, whereas, Saurav respondent No.2 Rs.1000/- per month on account of interim maintenance in the proceedings under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, initiated by Manjit Singh. Before the trial court, the petitioner did not set up the case that Saurav was not born from his loins. Now he wants to raise this plea and submits that Saurav being not his son is not entitled to maintenance. This plea having been raised for the first time at this revisional stage cannot be taken into consideration. The aid plea too is not accompanied by any cogent evidence. A birth certificate has been produced showing that a son was born to one Ram Pal and Poonam at Khanna Nursing Home at Ferozepur, therefore, connectivity of this document with Saurav is still to be verified. As regards maintenance to Poonam-respondent No.1, the trial court was quite reasonable in awarding such maintenance. She being the wife of the petitioner was legally entitled to be maintained by him. As such, the impugned order does not call for interference by this court. Dismissed. May 08, 2009 (A.N. Jindal) deepak Judge
