1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR FIRST APPEAL NO.198 OF 2009. MADHUKAR S/O KANTHIRAMJI HAZARE VS SMT. KALPANA W/O MADHUKAR HAZARE & ORS. Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Shri S. P. Kshirsagar, Advocate for the appellant. None present for Respondent nos.1 to 3 though served. CORAM : A.H. JOSHI AND A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATE : 8th DECEMBER, 2009. 1. This is a first appeal by the husband. He is aggrieved by the order of maintenance granted by the Family Court, ordering payment of maintenance allowance of Rs.450/- per month to the petitioner no.1 and Rs. 400/- per month to petitioner nos.2 & 3. 2. The grounds urged before this Court are that the respondent no.1 is a Home Guard and gets around Rs. 2000/- per month as salary. 3. The appellant has failed to bring any other record to show the monthly income of the respondent no.1 except that she is on the roll as Home Guard. 4. It is a common knowledge that being Home Guard, it is not a salaried job, nor there is security of work and pay. It is almost a social assignment. 2 5. Admittedly, the appellant has gross salary of Rs.6000/-, and his carry home income is of Rs.4690/- and it would be quite convenient for him to pay the small amount of maintenance which taken together comes to only Rs.1250/-. 6. The order under appeal, therefore, does not call for any interference and hence, appeal is rejected. JUDGE JUDGE |Muley|
