[Civil Appeal Nos. 713-714 of 2016 @ Special Leave Petition (C) No. 5516-5517 of 2015]. The appellant approached this Court with certain grievances regarding permanent alimony to be paid to the respondent. The High Court has directed payment of Rs. 7,00,000/- for the respondent and Rs.3,00,000/- for the child born to the appellant and the respondent. On service of notice on the respondent, through a Legal Aid counsel, the respondent has informed this Court that she is not in a position to go over to Delhi because of certain family circumstances. Having heard the learned counsel for the appellant, we are of the view that no interference is called for as regards the amount of alimony fixed by the High Court. However, having regard to the difficulties personally faced by the appellant, it would be appropriate that the appellant is granted more time for the payment of the amount.
