1 wp3518-11.sxw pps IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION Writ Petition No. 3518 of 2011 Shashank V. Patwardhan ..Petitioner v/s. Priya Shashank Patwardhan ..Respondent Mr.Vishal Kanade i/b. Sanjay Gawade for the petitioner . CORAM : R.Y.GANOO, J. DATED : 4th May, 2011 P.C. : 1. Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner at the stage of admission. The respondent has filed Petition No.382 of 2003 for divorce under Hindu Marriage Act. In the said petition, the respondent has filed an application for interim maintenance at Exhibit 25. The learned Judge of the Family Court has by his Order dated 24.2.2011 decided the said application and the petitioner is directed to pay to the respondent the sum of Rs.5000/- per month from the date of application till disposal of the petition. This Order is challenged by the petitioner. I have extensively heard learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the 2 wp3518-11.sxw petitioner. Perusal of the record goes to show that the learned Judge is satisfied that the petitioner’s income is in the range of Rs.20000/- to Rs.25000/-. Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner informed the court that the petitioner is carrying on business of Estate Agent at Pune. If the petitioner’s profession is of Estate Agent, surely the learned Judge was right in fixing the figure of income of the petitioner in the range of Rs.20,000/- to Rs.25,000/-. Having done that, the learned Judge has fixed the maintenance amount to be paid to the respondent at the rate of Rs.5000/- per month. Looking all the facts and circumstances, and the manner in which the petitioner is earning money the quantum of maintenance fixed by the learned Judge of the Family Court need not be interfered with and the petition is required tobe dismissed 2. Hence the order. ORDER Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. [R.Y.GANOO, J.]
