These cases arise out of M.C.No.3014 of 2012 pending before the Principal Family Court, Bangalore and parties to the lis in all these cases are common; they are husband and wife. Therefore, they are taken up together and considered by this common order. For the sake of convenience, the parties are referred to as per their ranking in the matrimonial case i.e., husband is referred to as the petitioner and wife as the respondent. Writ Petition No.48615 of 2013 is preferred by the wife.

2. The facts, in brief, germane are as follows:-

The petitioner and the respondent got married on 16-05-2011 and have a daughter born from the wedlock. The marriage between the two appears to have floundered and on the floundering of the said relationship, the husband prefers M.C.No.3014 of 2012 seeking annulment of marriage that had taken place between the two. The allegation of the husband was that the wife had left the matrimonial house on her own volition. The issue in the lis does not concern merit of the claim of the husband seeking annulment of marriage or defence of the wife. In the said petition, the wife files an application seeking interim maintenance under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act
