RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J. (Oral)

This appeal has arisen from the judgement and decree dated

11.01.2016 passed by the Additional District Judge, Ferozepur by which a

petition under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (for short ‘the

Act’) filed by the appellant-husband for grant of decree of divorce was

dismissed.

During the pendency of this appeal, respondent-wife had filed an

application bearing CMM-58-2018 under Section 24 of the Act for grant of

maintenance pendente lite. The said application was allowed on 21.12.2018

with the following order:-

“This application is filed under Section 24 of the Hindu

Marriage Act, 1955 (for short ‘the Act’) for grant of maintenance

pendente lite and litigation expenses.

During the course of hearing, the appellant husband had filed

his affidavit in which he has categorically admitted that he owns an

Audi car bearing registration No.PB-05-AC-8899. He has also

admitted that he had purchased the said car for an amount of

`38 lakh. Further it is admitted that he has been paying EMI

`56,000/- per month. The appellant husband has also deposed in the

affidavit that he owns 16 acres of land whereas counsel for the

respondent has submitted that he owns 182 kanals of land.

Keeping in view the aforesaid facts and circumstances,

especially the fact that the appellant has the capacity to buy an Audi

car, costing `38 lakh, we are of the considered opinion that he is a

man of means, therefore, the maintenance pendente lite is hereby

fixed at `20,000/- per month w.e.f the date of filing this application.

Litigation expenses have already been paid, therefore, no order is

required to be passed in that regard.

The application under Section 24 of the Act is allowed in the

above terms.

At this stage, counsel for the appellant has submitted that he

does not want to pursue this appeal. Be that as it may. We will allow

him to withdraw the appeal only after he pays the maintenance

pendente lite by depositing the entire amount from the date of filing

of this application in the account of the respondent wife.

Counsel for the respondent wife is directed to provide the

account number to the counsel for the appellant for doing the

needful.

Adjourned to 30.1.2019 for the purpose of considering the

request of counsel for the appellant to withdraw this appeal.”

Learned counsel for the appellant-husband has handed over a

demand draft of `2,00,000/- to the respondent-wife who is present in Court

today towards maintenance pendente lite as ordered by this Court. In view

thereof, he has further submitted that he may be allowed to withdraw the

present appeal as nothing is required to be paid.

Learned counsel for the respondent has not raised any objection,

therefore, the present appeal is hereby dismissed as withdrawn.
