3. It is contention of the learned counsel for the Petitioner-husband that the Petitioner has complied with the order passed by the learned Family Judge and has deposited the maintenance amount till September-2024. The learned counsel further submitted that the son has turned major in year 2022 and presently he is working. This Court may dispose of the Petition, considering the fact that son is not entitled for maintenance anymore and whatever amount has been deposited by the Petitioner is sufficient.
4. The learned counsel for Respondent-Wife submits that the learned Judge has granted maintenance on lower side. He fairly admits that son has attended majority and working but he submits that the maintenance amount awarded by the learned family Judge is on lower side and requested to dismiss the Petition filed by the Petitioner-Husband.

As well as the wife is not entitled for house rent. The Petitioner has deposited aforesaid maintenance amounts till September-2024 before this Court. Henceforth, the Petitioner need not to deposit these maintenance amounts. Though, Petitioner-Wife has claimed enhancement of the amount, I do not find any merit in it as the learned Family Judge has passed well reasoned

ORDER (i) Both the Petitions are dismissed. (ii) All pending Applications are disposed of.
7. The Petitioner-wife shall file Application for withdrawal of the amount deposited before this Court. The learned counsel for Respondent submits that Respondent has no objection to the withdrawal of the said amount.
