Singh, Advocate For the State : Mr. M. Rab, APP. Advocate for the O.P. : Mr. Pravin Kumar, Advocate. ----------- 5 19.05.2011 Counsel for the petitioner and respondent No. 2 are present. By order dated 26.2.2009, petitioner was directed to continue payment of a sum of Rs. 800/- per month to opposite party as ad-interim maintenance in lieu of Rs. 1500/- per month as granted under the impugned order. He was also directed to pay 50 % of the arrears amount. Learned counsel for the opposite party submits that the wife has not been paid any amount. Learned counsel for the petitioner is also not able to state that the petitioner is paying regularly the aforesaid amount as ad-interim maintenance and that 50 % of the entire amount lying in arrear has been paid. Considering the said fact as also the fact that the order is ad-interim in nature, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the order impugned dated 19.7.2008 passed in 2 Maintenance Case No. 31 of 2008. The application is dismissed. pkj ( Kishore K. Mandal, J)
