**************************************************************
The wife complains of the trial court having awarded alimony pendente lite at the rate of Rs.20,000/- per month despite the wife's claim that the husband earned in excess of Rs.1.5 lakh per month.
The husband is represented upon notice and it is submitted that the seven-year-old male child is with the husband and the husband has to provide for the child's education. It is also submitted on behalf of the husband that the income of the husband is around Rs.1.10 lakh per month. The husband also says that despite an order of January 9, 2013 passed on a previous petition of the wife that the wife should withdraw the criminal proceedings instituted under Section 498A of the Penal Code in view of the undertaking given to the Supreme Court, the criminal proceedings have still not been withdrawn. The wife is present in court and asserts that the criminal proceedings have been withdrawn. Such statement is recorded. The wife also alleges that the minor child has been taken away by the father and proceedings for custody of the child are pending.
Even if the husband's income is accepted to be Rs.1.10 lakh, the trial court has erred in awarding a paltry sum of Rs.20,000/- per month as alimony pendente lite, particularly since the status of the parties ought to have been taken into consideration while passing the order. The husband is a high-ranking official in a foreign bank. It is common knowledge that a high-ranking official in a foreign bank would earn well in excess of Rs.1.10 lakh per month and would obtain perquisites of considerable worth.
Since the prayer of the wife before the trial court was for alimony pendente lite at the rate of Rs.35,000/- per month, the order impugned is modified by requiring the husband to pay alimony pendente lite at the rate of Rs.35,000/- per month from the date as indicated in the order of the trial court. All arrears on account of alimony pendente lite should be paid by December 31, 2014.
The wife will also be entitled to apply for enhancement of the quantum upon obtaining sufficient material to support the same and by relying on the fact that the present enhancement or modification has been made by taking the husband's income to be Rs.1.10 lakh per month.
CO 2673 of 2014 is disposed of without any order as to costs.
Certified website copies of this order, if applied for, be urgently made available to the parties, subject to compliance with all requisite formalities.
