Perused the impugned order and documents produced on record. As per the affidavit of assets and liabilities of the Petitioner, her monthly income shows Rs.66,000/- per month. Whereas, Respondent’s salary is Rs.1,29,900/-. Both are earning members. The daughter of the Petitioner and Respondent is studying in the English Medium School. Maintenance amount of Rs.12,000/- for educational expenses and other expenses is on lower side. Considering the income of the Respondent and considering the income of the Petitioner, the maintenance amount Rs.25,000/- is appropriate for daughter for educational expenses and other expenses. In view of above, I pass following order: ORDER (i) Writ Petition is partly allowed. (ii) The Respondent shall pay Rs.25,000/- per month as maintenance amount for educational expenses and other expenses to the daughter Shravani from the date of filing of the maintenance application. (iii) The arrears, if any, be cleared. (iv) Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. (SHIVKUMAR DIGE, J.)
