3. The petitioner being aggrieved has preferred the revisional application stating that he is continuing to pay Rs.17,000/- (Rupees Seventeen Thousand) per month towards maintenance of his child who is staying with the opposite party/wife, herein.

4. It is further submitted by the Learned Counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner’s wife/opposite party has an independent source of income and as such the amount of maintenance granted to the opposite party/wife, amounting to Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) be reduced, as she is not entitled to any maintenance.

5. On perusal of the impugned order, it appears that the Learned Trial Court has duly considered the said submission about the alternative income of the opposite party/wife and has passed a reasoned decision which has now been challenged before this Court.

6. Considering the said facts, this Court is of the view that the revision is required to be heard in the presence of the opposite party/wife and as such the petitioner is directed to serve upon the opposite party/wife and file affidavit of service before the Regular Bench.

7. Pending hearing of the revisional application, the petitioner shall continue to pay a sum of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) per month to the wife/opposite party and Rs.17000/- per month for the child as being done, which shall be subject to the final outcome of the revisional application
