CRR No.2727 of 2009 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRR No.2727 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision:- 26.08.2011 Virender Singh Gill ....Petitioner Vs. Meenakshi and another ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL Present:- Mr. M.K. Chouhan, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. U.K. Agnihotri, Advocate, for the respondents. ***** A.N. JINDAL, J (ORAL) Assailed in this petition is the judgment dated 08.09.2009 passed by the District Judge, Family Court, Hisar, directing the petitioner to pay maintenance to the tune of Rs.9000/- per month to respondent No.1 and Rs.7000/- to the respondent No.2. Heard, in view of the fact that the pay of the petitioner has been revised w.e.f. 01.01.2006 as Rs.35,980/-, the argument addressed by the counsel for the petitioner lacks merit. The maintenance awarded by the Family Court to the respondents commensurate the income of the petitioner. The respondents being the wife and child of the petitioner and being unable to CRR No.2727 of 2009 (O&M) 2 maintain themselves, are bound to be maintained by the petitioner. However, the argument of the learned counsel for the petitioner that whatever amount has been paid by him during the matrimonial proceedings or as an interim measure, should be adjusted, appears to be genuine one and this argument has to be certainly accepted. No grounds to interfere. Dismissed. However, the amount already paid by the petitioner would be adjusted against the arrears, which has already been paid by the petitioner during the matrimonial proceedings.
