Prachchhak, J. were hearing a matter where the Family Court while decreeing the dissolution marriage directed the appellant to pay a sum of Rs. 70 lakhs towards permanent alimony to the respondent-wife under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001543752\" target=\"_blank\">25<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726956\" target=\"_blank\">Hindu Marriage Act, 1955<\/a> (HMA). The appeal before the High Court was filed only to the extent that the Family Court directed payment of permanent alimony.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Perusing the matter, the High Court had stated that <span style=\"font-size: 12.5pt;\">language of Section 25 indicates that the words are very clear, inasmuch as, it says that on the question of permanent alimony, there has to be an application to be made for such purposes. However, in the facts of the case, not even an oral request for permanent alimony was made. The High Court had further observed that the Family Court had specifically opined that that neither of the parties were willing to disclose their income and resources though, documents on record suggested otherwise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.5pt;\">Therefore, the High Court in para 6 of the impugned judgment had quashed the judgment of the Family Court and<\/span> remanded to the Family Court, Vadodara, to decide the issue of permanent alimony afresh by directing the appellant and the respondent to examine themselves orally and by leading their evidence, oral as well as documentary.<\/p>\n<p><!--\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Darshankumar Kalani v.
