without prejudice to the rights and contentions of both the parties.

¶19

The interim Application is allowed in terms of prayer clause (a). The prayer clause (a) reads as under :

¶20

“(a) That permit the applicant to withdraw the maintenance amount with interest which is deposited by Petitioner in this Hon’ble Court as per the order dated 13.10.2023. “

¶21

Since Mr. Thengal has disputed the fact that the entire 50% amount of the outstanding maintenance has been deposited by the husband in this Court.

¶22

Liberty is granted to the husband to deposit the outstanding amount if any in this Court, within a period of four weeks from today.

¶23

It is admitted fact that the husband was working in the Forest Department and as of now he has retired from his service. It is also admitted fact that the husband receives a pension approximately Rs.35,000/- per month. The Trial Court granted maintenance to the wife of Rs.4000/- per month.

¶24

According to me, the amount of maintenance granted by the Trial Court is very meagre and in fact very

difficult for any person to survive in the present conditions with an amount of Rs.4000/- per month.

¶29

This Court as a matter of indulgence on 13 October 2023 had directed the husband to deposit only 50% of the maintenance.
