Mrs.Manjula Rao for the petitioner. Mr.Vivek Kantawala for the respondent. CORAM : D.B. BHOSALE, J. DATED : 19TH DECEMBER, 2009 P.C. . Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. By this writ petition the petitioner-husband has challenged the order passed by the Family Court awarding maintenance to the respondent-wife and their three children. The amount of Rs.20,000/- per month is directed to be paid to the respondent-wife and Rs.5,000/- per month each to their three children. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and they have agreed for the following order: (a) The petitioner-husband shall deposit the entire arrears of maintenance as per the impugned order in the Family Court on or before 31.3.2010. The petitioner shall also deposit monthly maintenance regularly in the Family Court. (b) The respondent-wife will have a liberty to withdraw the 2 arrears of maintenance deposited by the petitioner-husband towards the maintenance of children. She is also allowed to withdraw 50% of the maintenance awarded to her by the impugned order. The remaining 50% of the amount i.e. Rs.10,000/- per month shall be invested in the name of three children by the Family Court showing the respondent-wife as their guardian. The deposit made in the name of three children would be subject to final orders that would be passed by the Family Court while disposing of the main petition. Even in respect of monthly maintenance the parties will follow the same direction. (c) The Family Court shall decide the main petition which is pending since 2008 as expeditiously as possible and preferrably within a period of nine months from the date of receipt of this order. With these observations the writ petition is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
