ORAL JUDGMENT
(PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JAYANT BANERJI)
Heard learned counsel for the appellant.
2. There is an office objection regarding maintainability of this appeal, as it is stated to be against an interlocutory order passed by the Family Court.
3. The matter relates to proceedings for divorce, in which an application I.A.Nos.2 and 4, were filed by the petitioner/respondent-wife for paying interim maintenance and educational expenses of minor children. An amount of Rs.75,000/- per month has been directed to be paid towards that effect, in addition to a sum of Rs.20,000/- to be paid towards interim litigation expenses as a one time payment.
4. It is evident that the order impugned is interlocutory in nature, being passed in exercise of jurisdiction under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act. Therefore, given the provision of Section 19 of the Family Courts Act, 1984, the instant appeal is not maintainable, being against the interlocutory order. The appeal is therefore, dismissed Sd/-
