Mr S.C.Thatte, for the respondent. CORAM: D.B.Bhosale,J. DATED: 03.03.2008 P.C.: Heard learned counsel for the parties. Rule. Mr.Thatte, learned counsel, waives service for the respondent. By consent, rule is made returnable forthwith and heard finally. This petition is directed against an order dated 17.8.2007 passed by the Family Court on Interim Application No.48 of 2007 (Exhibit-5) allowing the application filed by the petitioner. By the impugned order the respondent-husband has been directed to pay Rs.2000/- per month towards the interim maintenance to the petitioner-wife from the date of the order, that is,17.8.2007. The only grievance made by the petitioner is that the Court ought to have granted the maintenance from the date of the application, that is from 5.3.2007. After having considered overall facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, the impugned order is modified and the respondent-husband is directed to pay the maintenance as awarded by the impugned order from the date of the application, that is, from 5.3.2007 instead from the date of the impugned order. Hearing of the main petition is expedited. The rule accordingly stands disposed of. (D.B.Bhosale, J.)
