DATED: DATED: DATED: 24TH JUNE, 2008. 24TH JUNE, 2008. 24TH JUNE, 2008. P.C. P.C. P.C. : : : 1. The applicant in Civil Application No.140 of 2008 is the husband and the respondent is the wife. In Civil Application No.164 of 2006 and 219 of 2007 the applicant is the wife and the respondent is the husband. For the sake of convenience, we shall refer to them as husband and wife in this order. 2. Civil Application No.140 of 2008 is taken out by the husband for modification of order dated 17.12.2006 passed by this court. The husband is seeking deletion of sub-clause (i) of clause (2) of the said order. It states that the husband shall pay a sum of Rs.2,000/- per month to son, Gaurav towards monthly :3: :3: :3: maintenance. We are informed that Gaurav has now become major. According to the husband, because of this he is not liable to pay maintenance. Hence, with the above prayer the said Civil Application is filed. 3. Though, technically the husband may be right in so contending, we are informed that Gaurav now wants to join the BMS course and he proposes to take admission in ‘SWIS NR Swamy College of Commerce & Economics. For BMS course he has to pay an amount of Rs.17,030/- as fees. 4. The wife and the respondent are present in the court. The respondent has expressed his willingness to send the said amount to the wife’s residence by today evening. We accept this statement. No further order is necessary on this civil application. 5. In Civil Application Nos.164 of 2006 the wife has inter-alia prayed for accommodation, educational expenses and residential accommodation for the childrens. In Civil Application No.219 of 2007 she has inter-alia prayed that minor children Gaurav and :4: :4: :4: Ridhika may be granted monthly maintenance of Rs.5,000/- each. Under the consent terms, the husband was to share the license fees for the accommodation of the children. In all, he was to pay Rs.3,000/- out of Rs.6,000/- which were the earlier license fees. Today a new Leave and License Agreement dated 5.2.2008 is shown to us. We find that the monthly compensation is increased to Rs.7,000/-. We therefore direct the husband to pay in all Rs.3,500/- instead of Rs.3,000/- to the wife towards the license fees for accommodation of the children. Under the consent terms, the daughter is getting an amount of Rs.2,000/- per month as maintenance. With the steep rise in prices, we feel that the amount of Rs.2,000/- should be be increased to Rs.5,000/- per month. The respondent shall pay Rs.5,000/- per month to daughter, Ridhika. Earlier order stands modified to the above extent. No further orders are necessary on Civil Application No.164 of 2006 and Civil Application No.219 of 2007 at this stage. 6. All the above civil applications are disposed off in the aforesaid terms. :5: :5: :5: (SMT.R.P.SONDURBALDOTA, J) (SMT.RANJANA DESAI, J)
