a
the Principal Judge, Family Court, Jabalpur granting maintenance

ad

expenses.
M

After hearing learned counsel appearing on behalf of the

learned trial Court, particularly, in para-11 and 13, it is apparent

record, moreso, Bio Data sent at the time of solemnization of
marriage indicate his earning Rs.3-4 lacs. In such circumstances,
C

Rs.5000/- per month awarded by the Family Court for grant of

maintenance pendente lite cannot be said to be on higher side,
ig

therefore, interference under Article 227 of the Constitution is not
H

warranted.

Accordingly, this petition stands dismissed.
