that she is not in position to maintain herself but there is no

averment made that she has no source of income whatsoever.

Further, it is stated that the respondent is engaged in business of

Jewellery but the actual income of the respondent therefrom is not

disclosed. A perusal of the material placed on record by the

respondent alongwith the reply reflects that the appellant is

engaged as Teacher in New Target Public School, Chomu, which is

not disputed by the learned counsel appearing for the appellant

before this Court.

It is also not disputed that vide order dated 31.5.2017

passed by the Family Court No.3, Jaipur, in proceedings under

Section 125 Cr.P.C., the respondent is directed to pay a sum of

Rs.3,000/- to the appellant and Rs.2,000/- to her daughter as

maintenance. That apart, vide order dated 5.10.2019 passed by

Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate No.7, Jaipur Metropolitan,

Jaipur in Complaint No.242/2015 (148/2016) under the provisions

of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 (for

short “the Act of 2005”), the respondent has been directed to pay

a sum of Rs.5,000/- to the appellant and Rs.3,000/- for her minor

(3 of 3) [CMA-4356/2018]

in the proceedings under Section 125 Cr.P.C. before the Family

Court, in the considered opinion of this Court, the amount of

maintenance Rs.8,000/- awarded by the Court in the proceedings

under Act of 2005 is adequate for the maintenance of the

appellant herself and her daughter.

Accordingly, the application stands disposed of with the

direction that the respondent shall pay a sum of Rs.8,000/- per

month to the appellant as maintenance pendente lite. The amount

of maintenance being paid by the respondent to the appellant in

proceedings u/s 125 Cr.P.C. and in the proceedings under the Act

to pay the maintenance more than Rs.8,000/- to the appellant,

but, the appellant shall not be precluded from making an

application for enhancement of the amount of maintenance
