He contends that the petitioner has no objection to payment of maintenance to the minor, but maintenance to the wife is not justified on account of aforesaid submissions. The Family Court has only awarded interim maintenance vide the impugned order. The facts regarding allegations of withdrawing of amounts by the respondent-wife have also been considered by the trial Court and has observed that trial is at the initial stage, and in order to prove the facts, evidence from both the sides needs to be led.
