There is no dispute  that the suit for maintenance is pending.    Of course,   in   a  pending suit for  maintenance,  in exercise of powers under section  151 of the Code of Civil Procedure,   direction    regarding    interim   maintenance   can  be   made depending upon the facts  and  circumstances of the case.    In the present   case,   widowed-daughter-in-law  and   her   children have claimed   maintenance  against   her father-in-law.    The order of the Judge, Family Court,   does  not   indicate about any independent income of the present opp. parties.    Initially, I was inclined to remand the matter to the Judge, Family Court, for  causing an enquiry on this aspect.   However,   the  enquiry for the purpose of   interim   maintenance   may   also  take   some time as would be required for deciding  the suit  on  merit.    In such View of the matter, while   quashing   the   order   passed by the Judge, Family Court, J direct that the entire suit shall be disposed of on merit within six months from the date of communication of this order.\n<\/p>\n<p> 3.
