AMIT RAWAL J. (ORAL)

The husband is the revision petitioner before this Court

against the order dated 08.08.2018 whereby in a divorce petition filed

by the wife, maintenance pendente lite @`5000/- per month along

with litigation expenses of `4000/- has been awarded.

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted

that one minor child is with the husband and therefore, he has to

maintain him and incur expenses upon his upbringing. The wife has

also filed litigation under Section 125 Cr.P.C as well as under

Domestic Violence Act. The salary as assessed by the Court is not

correct and therefore, maintenance pendente lite is liable to be

reduced.

I am afraid the aforementioned argument of learned

counsel for the petitioner is not sustainable as the petitioner is

working as Supervisor, drawing a salary of `25,000/- per month.

The factum of petitioner working as Supervisor and

drawing a salary of `25,000/- has not been denied by way of affidavit,

thus, the amount awarded as maintenance pendente lite cannot be

said to be erroneous or onerous.

I do not find any reason to interfere with the order passed

by the Court below, much less, the same cannot be said to be passed

without jurisdiction. No ground for interference is made out.

The revision petition is dismissed.
