Rajesh Bindal J.
Challenge in the present petition is to the order dated 5.3.2012 passed by the learned court below whereby in an application filed by the respondent wife under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 maintenance of 5,000/- per month has been awarded. It has further been observed that in case the wife is receiving any maintenance in any other proceedings, the same shall be adjusted. The order has been passed considering that the petitioner is employed with CRPF and his monthly salary is about 20,000/-.
Considering the aforesaid facts, the amount of ` 5,000/awarded by the learned court below to the respondent wife cannot be said to be on higher side.
Accordingly, the present petition is dismissed.
