IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.1054 of 2007 SHATRUGHAN PRASAD Versus MUNNA DEVI ----------- 2 26/8/2008 Heard counsel for the parties. In the opinion of this Court the amount of Rs. 1,500/- awarded to the opposite party, wife who is to maintain not only herself but also her two daughters from the marriage of the petitioner, cannot be said to be either excessive or illegal. As a matter of fact, it has come on the records that the petitioner has already entered into second marriage and if that be so, the plea of the petitioner that he does not have sufficient means for maintaining his first wife and two daughters is absolutely a lame excuse which must be and is hereby rejected. Consequently this Court does not find any merit in this application and the same is dismissed with a direction to the petitioner to pay arrear as ordered by the court below from the date of the order within a period of six months in three equal two monthly instalments and the current amount would be paid by the petitioner positively by every 10th of the next month.
