1 SBCWP No.1617/08 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR. O R D E R S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.1617/2008 Subhash Chandra Sethia Vs. Additional District Judge, Nagaur Date of Order : : 18/05/2009 PRESENT HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.R. PANWAR None present for the petitioner. BY THE COURT: No one appears for the petitioner. 2 SBCWP No.1617/08 The instant writ petition came to be filed way back in the month of March, 2008 challenging the order dated 19th January, 2008 passed by Additional District Judge, Nagaur (for short “the trial court” hereinafter) on an application filed by the respondent No.2, Smt.Madhu, legally wedded wife of the petitioner under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act seeking monthly maintenance allowance as also the litigation expenses for the proceedings initiated against her by the petitioner. I have carefully gone through the order impugned as also material available on record. From perusal of the order impugned, it appears that proceedings have been initiated under the Hindu Marriage Act by the petitioner against the respondent-Smt.Madhu, who is legally wedded wife of the petitioner. The respondent-wife filed an application under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act before the trial court seeking interim maintenance allowance. She came with a case that she is unable to maintain herself & her child. She claimed monthly maintenance allowance as also litigation expenses. The trial court after considering the material available on record has passed the order impugned dated 19th January, 2008 granting the monthly maintenance of Rs.1500/- and 1000/- in favour of the respondent-wife and her 3 SBCWP No.1617/08 child respectively as also Rs.2500/- as litigation expenses which, in any manner, cannot be said to be excessive, warranting interference in the discretionary writ jurisdiction. I do not find any good ground to interfere with the order impugned. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. (H.R. PANWAR), J.
