The affidavit of assets and liabilities have been filed by the respective parties and the learned trial judge after taking into consideration the materials that were placed on record arrived at a finding that a consolidated sum of Rs. 15,000/- per month for the wife and a further sum of Rs. 2 5,000/- per month for the minor son would be sufficient in view of the present cost of living index. The learned trial judge applied the correct legal tests for fixing the alimony pendente lite. This Court is not inclined to interfere with such order under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. Accordingly C.O. 3274 of 2026 stands disposed of. There shall be, however, no order as to costs. Urgent certified photocopy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties expeditiously on compliance of usual legal formalities. (Hiranmay Bhattacharyya, J.)
