fca263.14.odt
maintenance of herself and her daughter, who is taking education in the
College. It is admitted by the respondent - wife, who is present in the
Court today that monthly maintenance is granted by the Family Court by
assuming that she was not working, but she is now working in the school
and is receiving a sum of Rs.6,000/-. It is stated that in this background,
the grievance of the respondents would be redressed, if the appellant pays
monthly maintenance of Rs.8,000/- to the respondent - wife and her
daughter from March, 2017.
Shri Jachak, the learned Counsel for the appellant, on
instructions from the appellant, states that the appellant is ready to pay a
sum of Rs.8,000/- towards monthly maintenance for the respondent -
wife and her daughter from March, 2017. It is stated that the appellant
would deposit the amount of Rs.8,000/- in the respondent's bank account
every month, regularly.
The parties further agree that the amount of Rs.1,10,000/-,
i.e., deposited by the appellant in this Court would be withdrawn by the
respondent - wife and would be placed by the respondent - wife in a
fixed deposit account of a Nationalized Bank so that the same could be
utilized towards the marriage expenses of their daughter. The Counsel for
the appellant states that he would voluntarily give some amount to his
daughter at the time of her marriage.
fca263.14.odt
Since the respondent - wife agrees to receive a sum of
Rs.8,000/- per month towards maintenance for herself and her daughter
and since the appellant is ready to pay the said amount to them and
deposit it every month in the bank account of the respondent, we dispose
of the family court appeal by accepting the statements made on behalf of
the parties in the Court today, which would be binding on them, with no
order as to costs.
The order of attachment of salary of the appellant would not
survive, in view of the aforesaid order.
