petitioner has been attached, with a further direction to his employer to

3. Shri Sarabjeetsingh, h/for Mr J.B.Gandhi, learned counsel for
the petitioner submitted that there are various liabilities which have to be
shouldered by the petitioner and hence instead of deducting an amount of
Rs. 6,000/- per month by attaching his salary, the petitioner is willing to pay
Rs. 5,000/- per month towards the arrears of maintenance with further
deposit of Rs. 10,000/- annually for clearing the said arrears. He submitted
that the petitioner has filed an affidavit dated 22.8.2016 incorporating this
undertaking. He, therefore, submits that the impugned order be suitably
modified by accepting the aforesaid undertaking .
Shri Ingole, the learned counsel for the repsondents submitted
that the peititione ris in arrears of maintenance and hence the direction to
attach his salary does not call for any interference. He also made a grievance
that monthly maitnenance is not being paid tothe respondents.

considering the undertaking tendered by the petitioner on oath, the interest of
jsutice wouldbe met if the impugned orderis mdoified and the peititione ris
directed to comply with his undertaking dated 22.8.2016. Byfollowing that
