CMM-159-2018
An application has been filed by the appellant-husband for
grant of maintenance pendente lite from the respondent-wife claiming that
the respondent is working as Block Extension Officer, Primary Health
Centre, Patiala and getting sum of Rs.58,000/- per month and she is wrongly
getting maintenance from this Court. He seeks maintenance pendente lite @
Rs.15,000/- per month.
We have considered the facts and circumstances and are of the
opinion that the application deserves to be dismissed as it is merely an
excuse to effect the payment of arrears of maintenance which is
accumulated to the extent of more than Rs.2 lac. It is not a case where the
appellant-husband is not able to survive on account of want of finances. He
has got liability to pay the maintenance during pendency of the case to the
wife as well as to maintain the daughter who is being looked after by the
respondent-wife.
Application is dismissed with costs of Rs.2000/-.
FAO-M-278-2014
