¶2Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the impugned order was passed by the learned Court below on the basis of order dated 03.07.2024 passed by this Court in FAO (FC) No. 09/2023. He submitted that thereafter, a review was sought of the said order and subsequently, the order dated 03.07.2024 was reviewed and in terms of the subsequent order passed by the High Court in FAO (FC) No. 09/2023, dated 27.05.2025, the wife has been held entitled to an amount of 30,000 per month, and the child ₹30,000/- to petitioner No.2 and ₹20,000/- has been held entitled to an amount of 3,000 per month. ₹30,000/- to petitioner No.2 and ₹20,000/- Accordingly, he submitted that in light of this development as the order passed by the learned Court below is bad in law, the same be set -aside.

¶3Having heard learned counsel for the parties and having perused the impugned order, we are of the considered view that as the order which was passed by the learned Court below was correctly passed at the relevant time, in light of the contents of the order of this Court dated 03.07.2024 in FAO (FC) No. 09/2023, if on account of subsequent developments, if any, modification in the said order is required, then, the petitioner has to approach the learned

Court below itself. The filing of this petition in the backdrop of the facts enunciated in the Revision Petition is not justified.

¶4Faced with this situation, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that these proceedings be closed, but with liberty to the petitioner to file appropriate proceedings before the learned Court. Proceedings are closed, with liberty as prayed for, subject to all just exceptions.
