ORAL JUDGMENT
(PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH)
The present appeal and the cross objection are filed impugning the judgment and decree dated 29th August 2022 passed by the Principal Judge, Family Court, Mysuru, in M.C.No.1015/2021 filed by the wife seeking decree of divorce.
2. M.F.A.No.7513/2022 is filed by the wife whereas, M.F.A.Cr.Ob.No.69/2023 is filed by the husband.
3. The Family Court has allowed the divorce petition filed by the appellant/wife by awarding permanent alimony of Rs.8,00,000/- (Rupees Eight Lakh only). The appellant/wife now wants this Court to enhance the alimony of Rs.8,00,000/- granted by the Family Court. We find no ground to interfere with the judgment and decree passed by the Family Court.
HC-KAR
4. Accordingly, M.F.A.No.7513/2022 is dismissed. Consequently, Cross objection No.69/2023 filed by the husband does not survive for consideration. Hence, M.F.A.Cr.Ob.No.69/2023 is also dismissed.
Pending I.As. stand disposed of.
