2. Wife is the appellant and the husband is the respondent herein. Wife filed O.P.No.13 of 2020 before the Family Court, Theni for divorce on the ground of cruelty and desertion. Pending the said application, the appellant filed I.A.No.1 of 2020 under Section 25 of Hindu Marriage Act seeking permanent alimony to a sum of Rs.10,00,000/-. While disposing the petition for divorce, the Judge, Family Court has also disposed the said I.A., observing that the petitioner has not produced any materials to show the assets of movable and immovable properties available with the respondent. The trial Court further observed that the respondent is surviving on the sole income from the cell phone service business and directed the respondent to pay the monthly maintenance of Rs.5,000/- to the appellant.

3. Challenging the said order, the wife filed the present appeal seeking enhancement of monthly maintenance.

4. A reading of the entire materials shows that though the appellant claimed a permanent alimony of Rs.10,00,000/-, she has not produced any materials to show the assets of movable and immovable properties available with the respondent and the respondent is affordable to pay a sum of Rs.5,000/- as monthly maintenance and ordered a monthly maintenance of Rs.5,000/-.

5. Therefore, in the absence of any specific material, this Court does not find any perversity in the order passed by the learned Family Judge. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed and the order passed by the learned Family Court Judge, Theni made in I.A.No.1 of 2020, dated 30.03.2021 is confirmed. However, the appellant is at liberty to work her remedy in the manner known to law by invoking under Section 25(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act, if any change in circumstances. No costs. (P.V.,J.)
