A single (Dr) judge of the Bombay High Court held as follows,
From Para 10, (Enjoy the perversity)
10. The perusal of the order impugned indicates that the trial Judge has taken into account all the facts necessary to be considered for fair adjudication and determination of quantum of interim maintenance. The trial Judge has applied all the settled parameters while doing so. The Petitioner/husband is a qualified Engineer and is suitably employed. His standard of living is fairly modest. The Respondent/wife is also a qualified MBA but unable to hold down a permanent job as she is single handedly looking after a ten years old. The mere fact that she is residing in the matrimonial home is not a pretext to disentitle her to a reasonable amount of maintenance. She still needs some amount towards food, medicine, clothes and educational expenses for the child. Thus, considering the status of the parties, reasonable needs of the wife and minor son are parameters to be considered while determining the sufficiency and the reasonableness of the quantum of interim maintenance to be adjudged so that the wife is able to maintain herself and the minor son in reasonable comfort. The quantum of maintenance awarded by the trial Judge is neither oppressive nor is it unendurable for the Petitioner/husband and there is no hardship caused to him. The amount of Rs.3,000/- is also reasonable for litigation expenses and barely sufficient for her to defend herself in the divorce Petition initiated by her husband. In view of the same, no interference is required in the order impugned herein. The quantum of interim maintenance, as adjudged by the trial Court, is reasonable and does not suffer from any infirmity. The Petition is, thus, dismissed.
