Judgment ORDER NASIM HASAN SHAH, J.---The learned counsel for the parties have been heard. No good ground exists for interfering with the finding of the Family Courts fixing the maintenance of the respondent at Rs.1,000 per month. However, in view of the straitened circumstances of the petitioner he is allowed to pay the balance of the maintenance allowance due in 17 equal monthly instalments; each instalment shall be paid by the 15th of every succeeding month. Thus the first instalment shall be paid on the 15th February, 1990. In case of default in payment of any instalment the entire balance i.e. The amount then due shall be payable in lump sum. This petition stands disposed of with the above directions.
