ORAL JUDGMENT
(PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH)
This appeal under Section 19(1) of the Family Courts Act, 1964, impugning the judgment and decree passed by the Principal Judge, Family Court, Hassan, in M.C.No.213/2023 filed by the appellant-husband.
2. The Family Court has granted a decree of divorce under Section 13(1) (i-a) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, and also directed the appellant-husband to pay
HC-KAR
permanent alimony of Rs.5,00,000/- (Rupees Five Lakhs only) to respondent-wife.
3. The present appeal has been filed only to the extent of granting permanent alimony of Rs.5,00,000/- to the respondent wife.
4. The learned counsel for the appellant submits that the respondent-wife is working, she has income, and to prove this assertion, the appellant-husband has produced Ex.P6, wherein it could be seen that the respondent-wife has income.
5. Mere having income by the respondent-wife does not disentitle her for permanent alimony. Such a meager amount has been fixed by the Family Court, we do not want to interfere with such a meager amount of Rs.5,00,000/-. We therefore, dismiss this appeal.
HC-KAR
In view of dismissal of appeal, pending interlocutory application/s if any, does not survive for consideration and the same stand disposed of.
