Heard Shri B. P.  Routray  for  the  petitioners and Shri Ajit Hota for  the  opposite patty.     This   writ   application  is directed against the order of the   Judge, Family   Court, Cuttack, 6xing Rs. 300\/- as   monthly   interim   maintenance payable to the petitioners.    Even  though   it is not  indicated in   the impugned order that interim maintenance claimed is for the  wife   and two minor children, it is obvious that maintenance had been  claimed for the three petitioners.\n<\/p>\n<p> 2.   The Judge, Family  Court, had  passed the following order :&#8211;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Both parties present. The petition claiming maintenance from the o. p. is put up. Heard the parties. Considering the financial status of the o. p. I direct him to pay Rs.300\/- pet month as interim main tenance to the petitioner from the date of the petition till disposal of the main case, payable on 19-8-99.\n<\/p>\n<p> Put up on 19-8-99 for payment of maintenance dues.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> 3.    A bare   perusal   of the aforesaid laconic order clearly shows that  the  Judge,  Family  Court,  while   considering  the question of interim maintenance has not  tried to ascertain about the   salary   and   the  financial   status   though   it   has   been   very vaguely stated that the financial   status has been considered.    In normal course, I would  have  remanded the matter for re-consideration  of  the question  of   interim   maintenance.    However, adopting such  a  course at this distant point of time may cause further harassment to both parties.\n<\/p>\n<p> 4. In course of hearing, Shri Hota appearing for the opposite party has produced the salary certificate for the month of September, 2000, which indicates that the basic pay of the opposite party was Rs. 5,250\/- and Dearness Allowance payable was Rs. 1,943\/- and house rent allowance payable was Rs. 525\/-. In other words, the gross earning was Rs. 7,718-00 per month. However, after deduction of various amounts towards loan, et cetera, the net amount payable appears to be Rs. 2,737\/-, The counsel for the opposite party has also stated that the opposite patty has to maintain other persons.\n<\/p>\n<p> 5. While considering the question of payability of interim maintenance, the Court has to take a prima facie view regarding the requirement of the destitute wife and minor children. Ordinarily, it is well accepted that about one-fifth of the income of the husband can be considered as reasonable so far as maintenance of wife is concerned. It is not disputed that petitioner No. 2 is attending school. Having regard to all these aspects, I think the direction regarding payment of interim maintenance of Rs. 300\/- appears to be grossly low and in the interest of justice it is directed that opposite party should pay a<\/p>\n<p>sum of Rs. 800\/- (Rs. 500\/- for the wife and Rs. 200\/- for petitioner N6. 2 and Rs. 100\/- for petitioner No. 3). It is made clear that the observation made above is only for the purpose of fixing interim maintenance and while disposing of finally, the Judge, Family Court, should not be weighed down by these observations. This enhanced amount is payable with effect from the month of March, 2001 and the earlier amount calculated at the rate of Rs. 300\/- is payable till end of February, 2001. If there is any unpaid amount, the same should be cleared within a period of six weeks from the date of this order. The main case may be decided by the Judge, Family Court, as expeditiously as possible. The writ application it accordingly disposed of  <\/p>\n<p> 6. Writ application disposed of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Orissa High Court Rasmita Rout @ Baral And Others vs Maheswar Baral on 12 March, 2001 Equivalent citations: II (2001) DMC 113, 2001 I OLR 411 Bench: P Misra ORDER 1.
