IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.692 of 2006 AJEET KUMAR GUPTA Versus LALITA DEVI ----------- 2 14.7.2008 Heard Counsel for the petitioner. Counsel for the petitioner would submit that in the given shape of things to come, the award of Rs. 800/- per month and Rs. 5,000/- by way of cost of litigation may not be excessive but considering the means of the petitioner, the amount was unaffordable for him and that is why the petitioner has preferred this civil revision application. However, after some arguments, when he realized that the quantum cannot be varied by this Court, he very fairly submitted that he is ready to pay both arrear and current of the amount of maintenance within a reasonable period but then it would serve the ends of justice if the Matrimonial case itself is disposed of expeditiously. This Court would accordingly direct the petitioner to deposit arrears and current of the amount of maintenance within a fixed time frame. The arrears must be paid as directed by the Court below within a period of three months from today and the petitioner also ensure that the payment of monthly amount is positively paid by him on or before every 10th of the respective month. The Court below would consider the case and the age of 2 matrimonial case and would definitely ensure that the same is disposed of expeditiously when the Matrimonial Cases of the year, 2004 are taken up in their normal course. With the aforesaid observations/directions, this civil revision application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
