The submission of the learned Counsel for the appellant is that the respondent husband had filed petition for divorce and that petition has been decreed by the Family Court and in that petition he had not filed any such application under <a href=\"\/doc\/320503\/\" id=\"a_2\">Section 27<\/a> of the Hindu Marriage Act.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">2. From the perusal of the provision of <a href=\"\/doc\/320503\/\" id=\"a_3\">Section 27<\/a>, it is clear that the application under <a href=\"\/doc\/320503\/\" id=\"a_4\">Section 27<\/a> is not maintainable independently. As per <a href=\"\/doc\/320503\/\" id=\"a_5\">Section 27<\/a> in any pending proceeding under this Act the Court may make such provisions in the decree as it deems just and proper with respect to any property presented, at or about the time of marriage. The impugned order passed by Family Court appears to be justified, as under <a href=\"\/doc\/320503\/\" id=\"a_6\">Section 27<\/a> of the Act no such independent application is maintainable. Thus, we do not find any illegality in the order passed by the Family Court. However, the appellant is free to avail the remedy available to her under the law.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_4\">Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madhya Pradesh High Court Lalita Devi vs Laxminarayan on 20 September, 2007 Equivalent citations: I (2008) DMC 351 Author: A Gohil Bench: A Gohil, S Khanna JUDGMENT Abhay Gohil, J. 1.
