1 cam326.10 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CIVIL APPLICATION NO.326 OF 2010 IN FAMILY COURT APPEAL NO.83 OF 2009 Bhavana Sudhir Pashankar .. Applicant. Vs. Sudhir Dattatraya Pashankar .. Respondent. Mr.Tanmay Gadre i/b Mr.Nitin Deshpande for the applicant. Mr.Manoj Patil i/b Mr.A.B.Vagyani for the respondent. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE & M.L.TAHALIYANI, JJ. DATED : 13TH SEPTEMBER, 2011. P.C. 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. On 30th August, 2011 learned counsel for the respondent- husband had made a solemn statement before the court that the respondent-husband shall clear arrears of maintenance within a period of one week from the date of the order and shall continue to pay maintenance as per the order passed by this court on 16.9.2009. By order dated 16.9.2009 this court had directed the respondent- husband to pay Rs.1,500/- to the minor son Tejas and Rs.1,000/- to the applicant-wife. According to learned counsel for the applicant, the respondent-husband is still in arrears of Rs.8,000/-. Learned counsel for the respondent-husband submits that some amount was paid prior to 16th September, 2009 by the respondent-husband to the applicant and hence that amount be adjusted towards maintenance S 2 cam326.10 to be paid as per the order dated 16.9.2009. We are not inclined to accept this submission. It is clear that respondent-husband is liable to pay Rs.3000/- per month from the date of the order dated 16th September, 2009. There is no dispute that as per that order the respondent-husband is still in arrears of Rs.8,000/-. In the circumstances we direct the respondent-husband to pay arrears of Rs.8,000/- within a period of two weeks from today failing which appropriate order will be passed on the next date. It is needless to mention that the respondent-husband shall continue to pay the amount of maintenance as per the order dated 16.9.2010 on or before 10th of every month. 3. With these directions the civil application is disposed of with liberty to the applicant-wife to file fresh application for appropriate orders, in the event, the respondent-husband makes default in making payment of the arrears and/or monthly maintenance, if any.
