1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.6693 OF 2007 Mrs.Nanda B. Sawant ...Petitioner. vs. Mr.Balu Maruti Sawant. ...Respondent. --- Mrs.Rukmini Thokal, for Petitioner. CORAM: D.K.DESHMUKH, J. DATED: 11th JANUARY,2008. P.C.:- By this petition, the petitioner – wife seeks modification of the order passed by the Family Court granting her maintenance. She wants that the amount of maintenance awarded by the Family Court should be enhanced. If one goes by the present state 2 of material on record, no fault can be found in the impugned order. However, in my opinion, considering that the application is made by the wife who was not in a position to collect the evidence at the relevant time, it will be appropriate to direct the family Court to consider any application of the wife which she may make after collecting the evidence showing that considering the income of the husband, he is in a position to pay an amount in excess of Rs.1000/- per month as maintenance. If such an application is made, the trial Court shall consider it on its own merits without referring to the order impugned in the petition. Petition is disposed of. (D.K.DESHMUKH, J.) ---
