IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY

BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 1803 OF 2025 AJAYKUMAR DHONDIRAM CHAVAN

VERSUS

ANITA AJAYKUMAR CHAVAN ...

Mr. Vaibhav B. Dhage, Advocate for the Petitioner. Mr. M. K. Bhosale, Advocate for Respondent.

...

CORAM : S. G. CHAPALGAONKAR, J.

DATED : 11th JULY, 2025.

P.C.:- 1.

The petitioner impugns order dated 12.11.2024 passed by Civil Judge Senior Division, Sillod below Exhibit-5 in Hindu Marriage Petition No.89/2024, by which interim maintenance of Rs.8000/- per month is granted to respondent-wife. 2.

The respondent instituted Hindu Marriage Petition No.89/2024 before Civil Judge Senior Division, Sillod under Section 9 of Hindu Marriage Act seeking decree of restitution of conjugal rights. During pendency of said petition, she filed application below Exhibit-5 under Section 24 of Hindu Marriage Act, claiming interim maintenance @ Rs.20,000/- per month.

3.

It appears that petitioner has custody of two daughters and in response to respondent's claim for maintenance, he filed affidavit stating that he requires to spend amount of Rs.50,000/- per month on himself and two daughters.

(2) 17-wp-1803-2025.odt 4.

The contents of affidavit filed by petitioner itself shows status of family. If applicant is spending amount of Rs.50,000/- per month and maintaining standard of living, wife is also entitled for dignified life commensurate to other family members. 5.

In that view of the matter, no ground is made out to cause interference in impugned order granting interim maintenance of Rs.8000/- per month to respondent-wife.

6.

Mr. Dhage, learned Advocate appearing for petitioner submits that after passing impugned order, Judicial Magistrate First Class, Soygaon has passed one more order granting maintenance of Rs.6000/- per month in favour of respondent-wife in Miscellaneous Criminal Application No.86/2024. 7.

Apparently, it is subsequent order and petitioner may take appropriate recourse of law, if he is aggrieved by the same. However, it has no bearing on impugned order. In result, Writ Petition stands dismissed.
