Rule, returnable forthwith. By consent of the parties taken up for final hearing. Mr.Sawant, learned counsel waives service for the respondent. 3. This writ petition is directed against an order dated 19.11.2005 passed by the Civil Judge, S.D., Sindhudurg rejecting the application filed by the petitioner-wife seeking maintenance for herself and her eight years old daughter. The wife had prayed for Rs.3,000/- maintenance for them both. The application came to be rejected on the ground that the petitioner-wife has sufficient means of income and she can maintain herself and her daughter without any difficulty. After having heard the learned counsel for the parties for sometime they have fairly stated that I need not record reasons for disposing :2: :2: :2: of the writ petition and have argued for the following order: (a) The respondent-husband shall pay maintenance to the daughter at the rate of Rs.1,000/- per month from the date of filing of this writ petition till the disposal of Hindu Marriage Petition No.32 of 2004. The petitioner shall pay this amount on or before 10th of every month. Insofar as the arrears are concerned, he shall pay the same within a period of eight weeks from today. The respondent shall pay this amount by cheque drawn in favour of the daughter. (b) The trial Court shall endeavour to dispose of the Hindu Marriage Petition No.32 of 2004 filed by the respondent-husband for divorce as expeditiously as possible and preferrably within eight months from the date of receipt of this order. Insofar as maintenance is concerned, all contentions of the parties are kept open which the trial Court shall consider after evidence and at the time of disposing of the main petition on merits in accordance with law and uninfluenced by the observations made in the impugned order. With these observations the Rule is disposed of. :3: :3: :3: (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.)
