% 16.09.2025 1.
By the present petition, the petitioner challenges the judgment dated 29.03.2025 (hereafter 'impugned judgment'), passed by the learned Principal District and Sessions Judge ('PDSJ'), Rohini Courts, Delhi in CA No. 219/2024. 2.
By the impugned judgment, the learned PDSJ set aside the order dated 08.07.2024 passed by the learned Mahila Court whereby the application filed by the respondent/wife under Section 23 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 was dismissed and directed the petitioner to pay a sum of ₹15,000/- per month to respondent/wife from 01.06.2023 till 31.12.2025.
3.
The learned counsel for the petitioner, submits that the learned PDSJ erroneously allowed the application filed by the respondent/wife seeking interim maintenance. He submits that the respondent/wife for some period was not working which led to the passing of the impugned judgment. He submits that the respondent/wife, at this stage, is again working. 4.
He submits that he will be satisfied if he is granted six The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above. The Order is downloaded from the DHC Server on 20/09/2025 at 12:29:23
months' time to pay the arrears and a liberty to file an application seeking modification of interim maintenance since the respondent/wife has again started working.
5.
He submits that he will file an application within a period of two weeks and requests that the learned Trial Court be directed to consider the said application expeditiously. 6.
Considering that limited relief is prayed for by the petitioner, this Court does not consider it necessary to issue notice to the respondent/wife. The impugned order is consequently upheld, however, the petitioner is permitted to pay the arrears within a period of four months. The petitioner is, however, directed to continue paying the monthly interim maintenance amount to the respondent/wife. Further, for the month of September, 2025, the petitioner is directed to pay the interim maintenance amount within a period of one week from the date and for the subsequent months within the first week of every month.
7.
The learned Trial Court is requested that as and when any application is filed by the petitioner seeking modification of interim maintenance, the same may be considered expeditiously. If any order of modification is passed by the learned Trial Court, the benefit of amount already paid by the petitioner shall be given to him.
8.
The present petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms. Pending applications also stand disposed of.
