CR No. 118 of 2010. 28.9.2011 Present: Petitioner with Mr. G.C. Gupta, Sr. Advocate and Mr. Ashish Jamalta, Advocate. Respondent with Mr. Sunil Chauhan, Advocate. Consequent upon discord in their matrimonial relationship, the parties to the present petition, who are related to each other as wife and husband, respectively, are in litigation. Admittedly, pursuant to compromise between the parties the wife and the minor child of the parties, a son aged 9 years, who is school going and is presently studying in 3rd Standard in St. Edward School, Shimla, are getting monthly maintenance of Rs. 6,000/- from the husband under Section 125 Cr.P.C. As per compromise, the husband has also agreed to meet the educational expenses of the minor child in the form of tuition fee, books and stationery, school uniform, clothes and other items of daily use. However, the fact remains that such expenses have not been precisely quantified in terms of money. The present revision petition arises out of order dated 19.1.2010 passed by the learned District Judge, Shimla in an application under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act granting monthly maintenance pendente lite to the wife at the rate of Rs. 1,500/- in addition to the aforesaid monthly maintenance of Rs. 6,000/- being received by her and the minor child under Section 125 Cr.P.C. Thus, in all, except the aforesaid expenses connected with education of the minor child, the wife and the said child are getting Rs. 7,500/- per month from the husband. In the facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the inter se relationship between the parties, the petition was ordered to be listed for today for settlement. Efforts to bring about reconciliation between the parties were made. However, the same could not succeed. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, status of the parties, materials on record and on an overall view of the matter, I am satisfied that ends of justice would be met in case apart from the aforesaid sum of Rs. 7,500/- being received by the wife and the minor child as monthly maintenance under Section 125 Cr.P.C. and maintenance pendente lite under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, the husband is directed to pay a further sum of Rs. 2,000/- per month to the minor child through the wife on account of the aforesaid educational expenses of the minor child, taking the total amount of monthly maintenance under Section 125 Cr.P.C. and maintenance pendente lite under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act to Rs. 9,500/- per month. This arrangement shall continue till disposal of the main divorce petition pending trial between the parties in the Court of the learned District Judge. In view of the above, the impugned order dated 19.1.2010 shall stand modified accordingly. The parties through their learned counsel are directed to appear before the learned trial Court on 20.10.2011. The requisitioned record be sent back, so as to reach well before the date fixed. (V.K. Sharma) Judge. September 28, 2011. (cr)
