Bai Appibai vs Khimji Cooverji on 14 December, 1934

In order to determine the amount payable to the plaintiff there is generally a reference to the Commissioner of this Court to ascertain the value of the husband's estate and his means or income, but it is not always necessary: see Bhikubai v. Hariba (1924) 27 Bom. L.R. 13, though that was a case in which only the amount of bare maintenance was to be assessed. I do not think that in this case any useful purpose will be served by making such a reference, as the defendant's property and income have been sufficiently investigated in the course of the evidence. Taking everything into consideration I think the fairest order I can make is to award the plaintiff Rs. 100 per month for her separate maintenance and residence during her natural life. Defendant to pay the said sum to the plaintiff, or her attorneys, as she may direct, on or before the 10th day of each month; the maintenance amount to be paid from the month of August last.
