IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA

AT CHANDIGARH

CR No.4917 of 2016

Date of decision:05.08.2016

Savita Devi

... Petitioner

Vs.

Naveen Kumar

... Respondent

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AMIT RAWAL

Present:-

Mr. H.P.S.Ishar, Advocate

for the petitioner.

AMIT RAWAL J. (Oral)

Petitioner-wife is seeking enhancement of maintenance

pendente lite to the tune of `15,000/ instead of `5,000/- and litigation

expenses `20,000/- instead of `5,000/- as awarded by the Court below.

Mr. H.P.S.Ishar, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the

petitioner-wife submits that admitted income of the respondent is `42,000/-

and the Court below has erred in awarding meager amount of maintenance.

Perusal of salary certificate, Annexure P-3 shows that after

deduction the carry home salary of the respondent is `28,586/-. Admittedly,

the children are living with the husband. I am of the view that a sum of

`5,000/- for a single lady is sufficient.

In view of the aforementioned, I do not intend to differ with the

findings rendered by the Court below, much less, the impugned order

cannot be said to have been passed without jurisdiction.
