( 1 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 4894 OF 2009 IN FIRST APPEAL NO. 851 OF 2009 Anil Pandurang Ubale APPLICANT VERSUS Mandakini Anil Ubale RESPONDENT ..... Mr. N.B. Suryawanshi, advocate for the applicant. ..... [CORAM : V.R. KINGAONKAR, J.] [DATE : 2nd December, 2009] PER COURT : 1. Heard. 2. Considering the fact that the respondent is duly employed and is earning sufficient income as a school teacher, the award of permanent alimony to the tune of Rs. 2000/- appears to be excessive. 3. Interim relief is granted to the extent of stay of the impugned order if the appellant/applicant would deposit 50 per cent of the amount of the awarded monthly maintenance before end of each calender month. Thus, the stay is only to the extent of 50 per cent of the ( 2 ) awarded amount. Present application is accordingly disposed of. [ V.R. KINGAONKAR ] JUDGE NPJ/ca4894-09
