IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.64 of 2009 ANURADHA DEVI Versus SANJEET KUMAR @ SANJAY KUMAR& ORS ----------- 2. 16.1.2009 Heard Mr. Ajay Kumar Thakur, learned counsel for the petitioner. The impugned order to say the least is in clear violation of the mandate of section 24 of the Hindu Marriages Act. The decision on the question of payment of adinterim maintenance under section 24 cannot and should not be made to await the final disposal of the matrimonial case. That in fact would be in clear violation of the mandate of law under section 24 of the Act. This Court would, therefore, set aside the impugned order and remit the matter back to the court below to pass an order under section 24 of the Act within 60 days of the receipt/ production of a copy of this order. With the aforementioned observation, this application is allowed. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
