KALIMULLAH AFTAB, PRESENT RESIDING IN VILL- JITWARPUR CHAWATH, P.S.- SAMASTIPUR, DISTRICT- SAMASTIPUR. For the petitioner : Mr. Ram Kishore Singh, Advocate. For the State : Mr. Jharkhandi Upadhyay, APP ----------- 2 08.09.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Husband-petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 22.10.2008 passed in Maintenance Case no. 32 of 1997 passed by Learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Samastipur. By this order, learned Family Court on a consideration of the materials on record has come to the conclusion that the wife is able to support herself from the salary/honorarium which she is getting for her service as Aanganwari Sevika. The two daughters of the husband-petitioner need support. Consequently Rs. 1500/- per month to each of his daughters (totaling Rs. 3,000/-) per month has been directed to be paid by way of maintenance. Learned trial court has also taken into consideration the fact that if the order is made effective from the date of filing of the application that will entail payment of huge amount of arrears which, in the facts and circumstances of the case, was not appropriate. Consequently, the order was made effective from 2 January, 2008 only. This Court finds from the order that the petitioner- husband did not appear for her examination. The only objection raised on his behalf was that he has already divorced the wife. It is seen from the order that the maintenance has been granted in favour of two daughters only. This Court does not find any perversity and/or patent illegality in the order meriting interference. There is no merit in this application. It is accordingly dismissed. pkj ( Kishore K. Mandal, J. )
