09.09.2026 936. C.R.R. 232 of 2026 Bd. With IA No.CRAN 1 of 2026 Ranjana Biswas Basak -vs- The State of West Bengal & Anr. Mrs. Sanjukta Samanta Mr. Romit Dutta … for the petitioner. Mr. Syed Nurul Arefin … for the O.P.No.2. In this application the petitioner/wife has assailed the order dated 08.12.2025 by which the trial court rejected the petitioner’s/wife prayer for interim maintenance on the ground that the wife/petitioner has been provided funds for having a flat, and therefore, the court was of the view that the wife/petitioner herein has sufficient fund for her own maintenance and therefore, the court below has refused to provide interim maintenance to the petitioner/wife. The court below also did not grant any amount of maintenance to their daughter namely Ishita Basak. This Court while admitting this application vide order dated 27th February, 2026 directed the opposite party no. 2/husband herein to pay an amount of interim maintenance to the tune of Rs. 3,000/- towards daughter and to the tune of Rs. 2,000/- towards the petitioner/wife from the date of passing of that order. 2 Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner/wife submits that said daughter of the parties is presently pursuing her study in BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) course, which involves huge tuition fees. Therefore, though the said daughter has attained majority but petitioner/wife is not in a position to continue with her further studies out of her meager income. Therefore, she had made a request upon the husband/opposite party no. 2 herein for providing maintenance to the daughter. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the opposite party/husband submits that neither the wife nor the daughter are entitled to get maintenance in view of the fact that the daughter has attained majority and learned court below has also discussed in its order the reason for refusal of maintenance to wife/petitioner. However, on instruction learned counsel for the opposite party no. 2/husband submits that his client is willing to pay Rs. 8,000/- per month to the said daughter so that she can pursue her studies in the BDS course and Rs. 2,000/- to her wife so that she can also maintain a better life. Having considered the aforesaid submissions made on behalf of the parties, the instant application being CRR 232 of 2026 is hereby disposed of with a direction that the opposite party no. 2/ husband shall go on paying an amount of Rs. 8,000/- per month to her 3 daughter and Rs. 2,000/- towards her wife within 10th of each succeeding month as interim measure till disposal of the maintenance application or till further order, whichever is earlier. Learned Trial court is requested to make every endeavour for expeditious disposal of the maintenance application being 654M/2023 and he will make his best endeavour to conclude the entire proceeding preferably within a period of six months from the next date of hearing, uninfluenced by any observation made herein and without prejudice to the interim measure directed to be taken in this order, by the opposite party. Both the revisional application and the connected application stand disposed of. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, duly applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance of all requisite formalities. (Dr. Ajoy Kumar Mukherjee, J.)
