(1) CA. 8795.2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 8795 OF 2009 IN SECOND APPEAL NO. 495 OF 2007 Sau. Vanmala Jagdish Sonawane .. Applicant VERSUS Jagdish S/o Ramdas Sonawane .. Respondent Mr. S.A. Pradhan, Advocate for the applicant Mr. V.D. Hon, Advocate for the respondent/appellant CORAM : A.V. NIRGUDE, J. DATED : 14TH SEPTEMBER, 2009 P.C.:- 1] While admitting the appeal, this Court directed the appellant to deposit Rs.70,000/- in this Court which represented the arrears of maintenance or part of it. The respondent wife filed suit for maintenance and demanded Rs.5000/- per month. The learned Judge of the trial Court, decreed her suit partly, awarding her Rs.600/- per month. The first appellate Court enhanced the amount to Rs.2500/- per month. In addition to this, the respondent gets Rs.500/- per month, as maintenance under section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. (2) CA. 8795.2009 2] Considering these facts as said above, this Court directed the appellant to deposit Rs.70,000/-. I am told that as per the order of this Court, passed on 6.6.2008, the appellant has been paying Rs.1500/- per month to the respondent wife and he has been regular in such payment till today. 3] The application is opposed on the ground that in the event of success in the appeal, the appellant would not be able to recover the amount easily. I am afraid this is a false apprehension; for the respondent is likely to get if not the amount which was granted by the first appellate Court, but some amount as maintenance and the amount which she is now getting by this order, can be adjusted towards future maintenance. 4] The application is allowed. The amount shall be paid to the respondent wife. Sd/- (A.V. NIRGUDE, J.) arp
