UPON hearing the learned counsel for the parties and on going through the materials on record, I find that by the impugned order, the learned Trial Judge has granted alimony to the wife to the extent of Rs.2500/- per month and for the minor child at the rate of Rs.3500/- per month, in all Rs.6000/- per month from the month of July 2010.
