THIS MFA, COMING ON FOR FINAL HEARING, THIS DAY, JUDGMENT WAS DELIVERED THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH and HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE T.M.NADAF ORAL JUDGMENT (PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH) The present appeal under Section 19(1) of the Family Courts Act, 1984 has been filed by the appellant-husband impugning the judgment and decree dated 04.01.2025 passed by the Principal Judge, Family Court, Kodagu-Madikeri in M.C.No.29/2024 instituted by the respondent-wife seeking decree of divorce under Section 13 (1) (ia) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 for dissolution of marriage with the appellant-husband, which was solemnized on 11.03.2021. The Family Court allowed the petition and directed the appellant- husband to pay a sum of Rs.6,00,000/- towards permanent alimony. 2. The grievance of the appellant-husband against the impugned judgment and decree is confined to the quantum of - 3 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010158622025 NC: 2026:KHC:36329-DB MFA No. 1784 of 2025 alimony of Rs.6,00,000/- which is evident from the question of law framed. 3. We are of the view that the Family Court has been very circumspect in granting a meager alimony in all a sum of Rs.6,00,000/-. We find no grounds to interfere with the judgment and decree passed by the Family court. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. 4. In view of dismissal of the appeal, pending interlocutory applications, if any, shall stand disposed of, as they do not survive for consideration.
