filed .petitiVon:is;eel<ing divorce against the respondent, which
still pending. Simultaneously the respondent filed petition "for vmaintenance and has succeeded in obtaining order of ..__"inai}ntenance.
4. The grievance of the petitioner is, he is not in a position to pay Rs.2,500/-- per month, because of the me'--:=2_gre salary he is drawing. According to him the direction:do-fl:thle., learned Sessions Judge in revision is difficult to K with. In this regard he submits that apart:
