THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P. DURGA PRASAD A.S. No. 1505 of 2001 Oral Judgment: (Per N.V. Ramana, J.) This appeal is directed against the judgment and decree dated 13.09.2000 passed by the Family Court, Vijayawada, dismissing the suit O.S. No. 239 of 1998, filed by the appellants claiming maintenance of Rs.2,000/- each from the respondent. The 1st appellant and 2nd appellant are the wife and son respectively of the respondent. Due to strained relationship, the appellants and the respondent are living separately. Therefore, the appellants claiming maintenance from the respondent filed the above suit, which was dismissed by the Family Court, Vijayawada, by the judgment and decree under appeal, holding that the marriage of 1st appellant with the respondent is not subsisting and that 2nd appellant had become major during the pendency of the suit. Today when the appeal is taken up for hearing, the learned counsel for the respondent submitted that the respondent is ready and willing to pay maintenance to the 1st appellant at the rate of Rs.2,000/- per month from the date of filing of the suit. The learned counsel for the appellants agreed for payment of maintenance to the 1st appellant by the respondent at the rate of Rs.2,000/- per month from the date of filing of the suit. Hence, as agreed to by the parties, we pass the following order: The order under appeal is set aside. The respondent is directed to pay maintenance to the 1st appellant at the rate of Rs.2,000/- per month from the date of filing of the suit. Interim maintenance, if any, paid by the respondent, shall be given credit to. The arrears of maintenance shall be paid by the respondent in a period of one year in four instalments. The 2nd appellant is not entitled to maintenance because he became a major during the pendency of the suit itself. Accordingly, the appeal is allowed. No costs. ________________ N.V.
