Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Faqir Muhammad Khokhar, Rana Bhagwan Das Title: ZULQARNAIN KHAN vs Miss FARRAH SHUA and others Case No.: Civil Petition for Leave to Appeal No. 1641-L of 2001 Date of Judgment:2002-06-20 Reported As: 2003 SCMR 930 Result: Petition dismissed
JUDGMENT
JUDGMENT ' RANA BHAGWANDAS, J.---Sole question involved in this petition for leave to appeal is whether learned High Court was justified in affirming the award of Rs.1,000 per month by way of maintenance allowance to the minor child of the petitioner? 2. As a result of proceedings in a suit, Family Court awarded maintenance allowance of Rs.2,000 per month in favour of the minor, which was impugned by the petitioner before the District Court. District Judge, Mianwali, on re-consideration, reduced the amount from Rs.2,000 per month to Rs.1,000 per month. Petitioner, being still dissatisfied, invoked the Constitutional jurisdiction of the Lahore High Court where he has been non-suited. 3. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and scanned the record. On perusal of the impugned judgment and the record, we do not find any legal or factual infirmity in the view taken by the Appellate Court and not disturbed by the High Court in the matter of award of maintenance allowance in favour of the minor. Even otherwise, with inflation in the cost of life amount fixed by the Courts below is neither unreasonable nor excessive. Furthermore, no substantial question of law of general public importance is involved in this petition, which is accordingly dismissed and leave to appeal refused.
