(22) CAM 163-17 Amk

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY

CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 163 OF 2017 IN FAMILY COURT APPEAL NO. 174 OF 2017 Smt. Vibhavari Bhushan Chavan .. Applicant Vs.

Mr. Bhushan Harishchandra Chavan .. Respondent Mr. Z. R. Tripathi a/w. Mr. Virendra Tripathi i/b Bhagyashri Gawas for the Applicant.

Mr. Deepak K. Pradhan for the Respondent.

CORAM : SMT. VASANTI. A. NAIK AND MR. SARANG V. KOTWAL, JJ.

DATE : 18 th DECEMBER, 2017.

P. C. :

By this application, the applicant seeks a direction against the respondent-non applicant to return the 'Stridhan' articles to the applicant. The applicant also seeks direction against the respondent to pay maintenance pendente lite @ Rs.25,000/- p.m.

Since the prayer made by the applicant for the return of 'Stridhan' articles was rejected by the Family Court, the prayer cannot be considered till the Family Court appeal is heard on merits. However, since the Family Court had directed the non applicant-husband to pay monthly maintenance to the wife @ Rs.3,000/- p.m. during the pendency of the proceedings before the Family Court, it would be necessary to direct the non-applicant to pay a sum of Rs.3,000/- to the applicant during the pendency of this appeal.

Hence, we direct the non applicant-respondent to pay a sum of Rs.3,000/- p.m. to the applicant-wife from November, 2017 as the delay in 1/2

(22) CAM 163-17 filing the appeal is condoned in October, 2017 and the appeal was registered thereafter.

The Civil Application is allowed in the aforesaid terms and disposed of accordingly.
