7. Issue notice. Respondent appearing in person accepts notice. 8. This Court has interacted with the parties, both of whom are present in person. 9. Upon perusal of record, this Court finds that even though the petitioner/ respondent therein was directed to file his reply to the ad interim maintenance application on 23.03.2026, the learned Family Court, surprisingly, on the very day itself, proceeded to hear arguments thereon without waiting for said reply. 10. In fact, a perusal of impugned order also reveals that despite noting the petitioner’s claim that he was earning only Rs. 8,500/- per month, the learned Family Court, without any material to justify the same and solely based on the assertion made by the respondent, had directed the petitioner to pay an ad interim maintenance of Rs. 15,000/- per month. 11. Considering the aforesaid, this Court is not satisfied with the findings rendered by the learned Family Court. As such, the impugned order dated 24.03.2026 is set aside and the proceedings are remanded back before the learned Family Court to re-adjudicate upon the aspect of ad-interim maintenance after taking into consideration all of the relevant factors including the reply filed by the petitioner in the said application. 12. Accordingly, the present petition is disposed of. 13. A copy of this order be sent to the concerned Principal District Judge, Central District, Tis Hazari Courts, New Delhi for information and compliance forthwith. SAURABH BANERJEE, J
