_ 2. Hoxyever on ilrnerits itis seen that the present petition is filed chall_er1gVir1eg the_Vorderl'of the family court directing the appellant to pay :7W,.,,rr1'aintenancel at tlie';_ of Rs.1,500/- per month to the respondent, wife the petitioner. The ground raised is that though the cl_aim for 'Rs.3,000/-- as maintenance, the court having H 'igraintied__iRs.1,500/-- is exorbitant. Having regard to the station of life 6 b.) of the petitioner and his income, apart from the large number of dependants that he has to support, he is not in a position to vbearithe burden of payment of Rs.I,500/-- per month. It is in thistvieiini ~ coutd contend that the court below has failed to H appreciiate4_'_:the._V it it circumstances in which petitioner is placedin idireicting _t};e,Vpayrinent'V. of maintenance as above.
