C.O. No. 3885 of 2019
Sri Joydeb Jana
Vs.
Smt. Rebati Jana
Mrs. Manideepa (Paul) Roy
…for the Petitioner.
The husband in the matrimonial suit is the petitioner before
this Court. He is aggrieved by an order dated July 8, 2019 passed
by the learned Additional District Judge, Fast Track Court-II at
Howrah in Misc. Case No.15 of 2016 arising out of Mat Suit
No.827 of 2015.
The contention of the husband is that without arriving at a
proper finding as to the income of the husband and upon taking
into consideration documents, which were not marked as
exhibits, the learned Court below awarded a sum of Rs.15,000/-
per month to the wife along with Rs.10,000/- as litigation costs.
From the order impugned, it appears that the Court has
relied on some documents which were filed in the form of firisti.
Prima facie, I do not find any finding with regard to the specific
income of the husband or requirement of the wife.
The petitioner has made out an arguable case.
