ORAL JUDGMENT
(PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH)
The present appeal has been filed under Section 19(1) of the Family Courts Act, 1984 impugning the judgment and decree passed by the Principal Judge, Family Court, Bengaluru in M.C.No.5339/2020 whereby the Family Court has allowed the petition filed by the appellant/husband on the ground of cruelty and the marriage solemnized between the parties on 09.12.2012 has been dissolved by a decree of divorce.
2. The only dispute involved in this appeal is about the quantum of permanent alimony of Rs.50,00,000/- which the Family Court has granted to the respondent-wife. In pursuance to the interim order passed by this Court, the appellant has already paid a sum of Rs.10,00,000/- to the respondent. To put a quietus to the dispute between the parties, we reduce the quantum of total alimony
HC-KAR
to Rs.35,00,000/- and direct the appellant to pay further sum Rs.25,00,000/- within a period of three months in three equal monthly installments towards all rights and clims of the respondent wife.
3. With the aforesaid direction, the appeal is disposed of.
