1. This is an appeal from a judgment of Mr-Justice Kumaraswami Sastri granting the petitioner, the divorced wife ot the respondent, alimony at the rate of Rs. 150 a month. The decree absolute was made on the 15th August 1905. The present application is made under Section 37 of the Indian Divorce Act which empowers the court on confirmation of any decree declaring a marriage to be dissolved to make an order for the payment of alimony. That section corresponded to Section 32 of the Matrimonial Causes Act of 1855 which has now been replaced by Section I(1) of the Matrimonial Causes Act of 1907. Both these Acts also contain similar language authorising an order of alimony to be made on any decree for dissolution or nullity of marriage. Now, much learned argument was addressed to us as to the meaning to be put upon the words "on confirmation". It was objected for the appellant that an order made 15 years after the decree for divorce had been made absolute could not possibly be regarded as made on confirmation of the decree. It is unnecessary to do more than to say that the Aprili number of 1921, Probate Division, Page 107, has brought out a decision, Scott v. Scott (1921) P. 107
