Withdrawal of divorce suit would not make an end to alimony proceeding.
It is too late.
It is judicially well set principle and citation is required though there is many.

your wife application of maintenance is placed for orders . court will pass orders on her application for mainteance.
your application for withdrawl of divorce case will not affect her mainteance application

divorce petition can be withdrawn at any time before judgement..
but your withdrawal nothing can change with your wife's maintenance petition..

Once you have filed a Divorce suit and subsequently your wife filed a petition for alimony then Court may passed an order of alimony/maintenance.Withdrawal of suit would not effect for passing an order.

I disagree, the case can be withdrawn, while S 24 can be kept alive and on decision, the maintenance would be payable till the date of pendency of the suit.
