RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J. (ORAL)
This appeal has arisen from the judgment and decree dated
28.07.2011 passed by the learned Additional District Judge, Amritsar by which
the petition filed under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (‘Act’ – for
short) by the appellant-husband for seeking dissolution of marriage on the
ground of cruelty has been dismissed.
This appeal was admitted on 24.09.2015.
The appellant has filed CM No.307-CII-2019 seeking permission
for withdrawal of the main appeal.
After notice in the application, counsel for the non-
applicant/respondent has put in appearance and has submitted that the appellant
is in arrears of maintenance pendente lite. According to him, the appellant has
to pay the amount of `2,20,000/- and has submitted that until and unless the

said amount is paid, he may not be allowed to withdraw the appeal.
Learned counsel for the appellant has, however, submitted that the
appellant is withdrawing the appeal without any condition and he does not
want to pursue the same. He further submits that in case any amount is
allegedly due, the same may be recovered by the respondent in accordance
with law.
We have heard learned counsel for the parties and are of the
considered opinion that the appellant has a right to withdraw the appeal and the
respondent has a right to recover the amount of maintenance pendente lite in
accordance with law.
Accordingly, the application (CM-307-CII-2019) is allowed and
the appeal which stands admitted is ordered to be dismissed as withdrawn but
liberty at the same time is given to the respondent to recover the amount of
maintenance pendente lite in accordance with law.
