These were cross-appeals filed before the Delhi High Court arising out of an order dated 17.10.2022 passed by the Principal Judge, South-East, Family Courts, Saket, New Delhi, on an application moved by the wife under Sections 25 and 27 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, seeking permanent alimony and money in lieu of properties/stridhan. The Family Court had directed the husband to pay a lump sum permanent alimony of Rs. 6,00,000/- within six months and a monthly maintenance of Rs. 5,000/- per month to the wife till she remained legally entitled to receive the same.
The High Court noted that since the passing of the impugned order, no amount had been paid to the wife despite interim maintenance of Rs. 10,000/- per month having been paid during the pendency of the divorce petition. No interim direction had been passed by the Court in the appeals.
The Court directed that pending the appeals, the husband shall pay at least the monthly amount of Rs. 5,000/- as fixed by the impugned order, along with all arrears, before the 10th day of March 2024. All three connected appeals were listed for hearing on 23.04.2024.
