-: 1 :- HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 1575 OF 2010 Vinod Bhimrao Whawale. ..Petitioner. Versus Surekha Vinod Whawale. ..Respondent. Mr. Tejas Patil for the petitioner. Coram : R. V. MORE, J. Date : March 15, 2010. P. C. : 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. By the impugned order the application of the respondent – wife for interim maintenance was allowed and the petitioner was directed to pay an amount of Rs. 1500/- per month to her towards the interim alimony from the date of the application till the decision of main suit. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that he has no objection about the quantum of maintenance. He submitted that however he has objection to the payment of the same from the date of application on the ground that on 14 occasions the adjournments were granted at the request of the respondent. 3. I am not inclined to interfere with the impugned order. It is normal rule that the grant of maintenance shall be from the date of filing of application. In my view, merely because the respondent has sought some adjournments it cannot be a ground to restrict the grant of maintenance from -: 2 :- the date of order. I do not find any error in the impugned order. In the circumstances, the petition is dismissed. (R.V. MORE, J.)
