Parthiban, v. Subasri

J U D G M E N T [Judgment of the Court was made by The Hon'ble ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE] This civil miscellaneous appeal is directed against the fair and decreetal order dated 20.12.2022, passed in I.A.No.77 of 2022 in H.M.O.P.No. 261 of 2021, on the file of the Family Court, Pudukkottai, ordering the appellant to pay a sum of Rs.15,000/- to his wife / respondent as monthly maintenance.

¶2Learned counsel for the appellant would submit that the appellant has filed H.M.O.P.No.261 of 2021, on the file of the Family Court, Pudukkottai, under Sections 13(1)(i-a) and 13(1)(i) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, making serious allegations of adultery and cruelty against his wife / respondent herein. According to the learned counsel for the appellant, the impugned order directing the appellant to pay a sum of Rs.15,000/- towards monthly maintenance to his wife / respondent, against whom the appellant has made allegations of adultery and cruelty, is highly unsustainable and impermissible in law.

¶3We find no merit in the contentions put forth by the appellant as he has not substantiated his contentions with supportive documents. Therefore, without making any further observations as it would have ramification in the pending Hindu Marriage Original Petition, we hereby direct the Family Court, Pudukottai, to dispose of H.M.O.P.No.261 of 2021, within a period of three months from today.

¶4With the above direction, the civil miscellaneous appeal is disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
