Mr. Amit A. Tawade, Respondent, present through Video Conferencing. _______________________________________________________________ CORAM: MADHAV J. JAMDAR, J.

DATED: 25 AUGUST 2025 P.C.:

1.

Heard Mr. Deshmukh, learned Counsel appearing for the Petitioner and Mr. Udane, learned Counsel appearing for the Respondent.

2.

The challenge in this Writ Petition is to the Order dated 20th September 2022 passed by the learned Judge, Family Court No.5, Pune below Exhibit-17 in PA No.1531/2018 ("impugned Order"). 3.

By the impugned Order the Respondent-father has been directed to pay maintenance of Rs.10,000/- per month for the daughter in addition to the interim maintenance granted in Criminal Miscellaneous

Application No.145 of 2019 i.e. proceedings filed under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. By the said Order passed in the DV proceedings an amount of Rs.10,000/- per month has been directed to be paid to the daughter for the maintenance of the daughter and in addition to that an amount of Rs.10,000/- per month has been directed to be paid by the learned Family Court. 4.

The Respondent, who is present through Video Conferencing, states that he is getting salary of about Rs.2,10,000/-. The Petitionerwife who is also personally present in Court, states that she is getting salary of Rs.1,00,000/-.

5.

Mr. Udane, learned Counsel for the Respondent, on instructions of the Respondent, states that instead of Rs.10,000/- per month as directed by the learned Judge, Family Court, the Respondent will pay an amount of Rs.15,000/- per month. Mr. Udane, learned Counsel thus states that in effect the additional amount of Rs.5,000/- per month will be paid with effect from the date of the Application bearing Exhibit-17 which has been filed on 16th January 2019. Thus, as a consequence the daughter will get the maintenance from father of Rs.25,000/- per month i.e. Rs.15,000/- per month in the proceedings bearing P. A. No.1531 of 2018 and in addition to that Rs.10,000/- per month in the DV proceedings.

6.

Mr. Deshmukh, learned Counsel, on instructions of the Petitioner

who is present in Court, states that the Petitioner has no objection for the same.

7.

Accordingly, by consent of the parties, following Order is passed :- i.

The impugned Order dated 20th September 2022 passed by the learned Judge, Family Court No.5, Pune below Exhibit-17 in P. A. No.1531 of 2018 is modified by directing that instead of Rs.10,000/- per month the Respondent shall pay Rs.15,000/- per month in addition to the interim maintenance granted in Criminal Miscellaneous Application No.145 of 2019. ii.

Thus, in effect the Respondent will pay an amount of Rs.25,000/- per month as maintenance for the daughter. Such payment shall be made on or before the 10th day of each succeeding month and the same will be paid in the bank account of the Petitioner. First such payment will be made on or before 10th September 2025 i.e. maintenance for the month of August 2025.

iii.

As far as the arrears of Rs.5,000/- from 16th January 2019 till 31st July 2025, the same shall be paid in the Bank Account of the Petitioner in six equal monthly instalments. First such monthly instalment will be paid on or before 25th September 2025.

iv.

Thus, the impugned Order dated 20th September 2025 is

modified in above terms by the consent of both the parties. v.

However, it is clarified that all the above directions regarding payments which have been passed on the basis of the statements made by the Respondent, who is present through Video Conferencing, are accepted as undertakings given to this Court. 8.

Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of in above terms with no order as to costs.
