Singh, J., dismissed an application filed under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act on finding no interest in the same by the wife.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Petitioner filed a divorce petition under Section 13(1)(ia) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, seeking divorce from his wife. To which Family Court granted a decree of divorce to dissolve the marriage. However, on the same date, a notice was issued in the application under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, Family Court called for the detailed affidavits to be filed as to the expenditure, assets and liabilities of both the Petitioner and Respondent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The above-said application has been challenged.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bench noted from the Family Court\u2019s decision that the respondent did not contest the divorce petition at all. Respondent\u2019s defence was struck off and cross-examination of the petitioner was also of a limited nature.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further, the Court added that since the respondent did not set out any substantial defence and the decree of divorce was granted without contest, respondent didn\u2019t seem to be interested in pressing the application under Section 24 of the Act, which is meant for interim maintenance <em>pendente lite.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0While concluding with the decision, Court expressed that the legal position is that a Section 24 application under the Act can survive beyond the dismissal of the main proceeding for grant of divorce, in respect of the period till the dismissal of the said petition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Adding to the above, bench stated that the decision in <em>Rita Mago v. V.P.
