J U D G M E N T

(Judgment of the Court was made by R.SUBRAMANIAN, J.) Challenge in this appeal is to the order granting interim maintenance at the rate of Rs.15,000/- per month for the wife pending 1/4

disposal of two Original Petitions, one filed by the husband for divorce and other filed by the wife for restitution of conjugal rights. 2.The only objection that is taken is, the wife is an M.A. graduate and she is employed and earning about Rs.96,000/- per annum. The learned Family Judge has taken into account her income, the income of the husband and has found that Rs.96,000/- per annum is wholly insufficient for the wife to maintain herself and fixed the quantum of Rs.15,000/- per month. 3.Considering the income of the husband and nature of his employment, we do not think, we should interfere with the quantum of maintenance granted by the Tribunal. This Civil Miscellaneous Appeal therefore, fails and it is accordingly, dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
