1 wp2644-11.sxw pps IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION Writ Petition No. 2644 of 2011 Mr.Rajkumar Narsinha Katakdhond ..Petitioner v/s. Kumari Mayuri Rajkumar Katakdhond & Others .. Respondents Mr.R.S.Datar i/b. Dushyant S. Pagare for the petitioner . CORAM : R.Y.GANOO, J. DATED : 25th April, 2011 P.C. : 1. The respondents herein are the minor children, that of the petitioner. The respondents have filed Special Civil Suit No.113 of 2010 in the Court of Civil Judge, Senior Division through their mother, against the petitioner and have prayed for maintenance. In the said suit, the respondents did file application for interim maintenance at Exhibit 5. The said application for maintenance was decided by the learned 2nd Joint Civil Judge, Senior Division, Solapur by order dated 25.1.2011. The learned Judge has directed the petitioner to pay to each child (in 2 wp2644-11.sxw all three) a sum of Rs.4000/- per month from the date of the said application till further orders. This Order dated 25.1.2011 is challenged by this petition. 2. I have extensively heard learned Counsel Mr. Datar appearing on behalf of the petitioner. It has been the stand of the petitioner that the learned Judge of the Family Court has not considered the fact that the petitioner’s wife i.e. the mother of the respondents is practicing Advocate at Solapur. I have perused the impugned order and it is noticed that the three respondents are school going children. Looking to the manner in which the education is imparted in the school, as also the various requirements which the parents are required to fulfill as regards purchase of uniform, note books, from school, the rising prices as regards the educational items, as also taking into consideration the general standard of living, the sum of Rs.4000/- granted by the learned Judge of the Family Court is on lower side. Though there is no specific reference in the impugned order as regards the income of the mother of the respondents as an Advocate, it is apparent that the learned Judge has taken that fact into consideration and has fixed the nominal sum of Rs.4000/- for each 3 wp2644-11.sxw child to be paid by the petitioner for maintenance of the three children. Surely, once the petitioner pays the sum of Rs.4000/- per child, the mother i.e. the petitioner’s wife will have to arrange for additional amount because the requirement of the school going children for the purpose of education and every day lunch, dinner and other expenses is bound to be more than Rs.4000/-. Looking to the impugned order from this angle, I am not inclined to interfere in the impugned order. The learned Judge has considered all the aspects and has fixed a reasonable amount of maintenance. No interference in required. Hence following order is passed. ORDER i) Petition is dismissed at the stage of admission. There shall be no order as to costs. [R.Y.GANOO, J.]
