IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.4179 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 16th August, 2011 Bhupinder Singh … Petitioner Versus Harpreet Kaur … Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. Mohit Garg, Advocate for Mr. D.K. Bhatti, Advocate for the petitioner. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) Present revision petition has been filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India praying that order dated 21st April, 2011 passed by the Court of District Judge, Kapurthala whereby Rs.2,000/- per month was granted as maintenance pendente lite to the respondent-wife, be set aside along with the order whereby Rs.5,000/- was granted as litigation expenses. The only argument raised before this Court is that the wife, before solemnizing marriage with the petitioner, had not disclosed that she was earlier married with one Charanjit Singh @ Sodhi, from whom she had obtained divorce under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. Counsel for the petitioner has referred to order (Annexure P- 5) dated 6th June, 2009 whereby earlier marriage of respondent-wife was dissolved. Civil Revision No.4179 of 2011 (O&M) It is a moot point that mere non-disclosure of the earlier marriage will make a married wife disentitled to maintenance pendente lite. Furthermore, as to whether the petitioner was earlier married or not, is also a disputed question of fact. Therefore, it cannot be said that the wife is not entitled to maintenance pendente lite. No other argument has been raised for consideration of this Court. Hence, no interference is warranted in the present revision petition and the same is hereby dismissed.
