DATED: DATED: DATED: 24TH JUNE, 2008. 24TH JUNE, 2008. 24TH JUNE, 2008. P.C. P.C. P.C. : : : 1. The applicant is the appellant, she is the wife. The respondent is the husband. The appellant has challenged in this appeal, the judgment and order :3: :3: :3: dated 4.10.2007 passed by the Family Court, Bandra, whereby the petition filed by her for dissolution of marriage was allowed. It appears that she is aggrieved by the quantum of maintenance. She has inter-alia prayed for enhancement of the maintenance amount. 2. The custody of both the minor sons, Dhruv and Maunish is ordered to be continued with her. The respondent-husband is directed to pay to her a sum of Rs.10,000/- per month as maintenance. The respondent is also directed to pay Rs.10,000/- per month to the minor son, Dhruv. Admittedly, Dhruv has become major. 3. Sofar as Dhruv is concerned, we are informed that he suffers from some disability and therefore the respondent has no objection to pay maintenance to him. So far as, Maunish is concerned, learned counsel for the applicant has told us that he proposes to join Jai :4: :4: :4: Hind College. Respondent was not directed to pay maintenance to Maunish. In our opinion, the applicant will have to spend considerable amount on his further education, now that he proposes to join the college. Hence, in the facts and circumstances, in our opinion, some order granting maintenance to him, needs to be passed. In our opinion, the following order would meet the ends of justice. (i) The respondent shall pay the college fees of Maunish and he shall also pay Rs.5,000/- per month as maintenance for Maunish. 4. Since, only this prayer is pressed by the learned counsel for the applicant at this stage, it is not necessary to deal with the other prayers. Civil Application is disposed off. :5: :5: :5: (SMT.R.P.SONDURBALDOTA, J) (SMT.RANJANA DESAI, J)
