Permanent alimony versus maintenance u/s 125

Respected Experts/Members,

My petition u/s 13 1(a) & 13 1(b) has been honoured with the decree of divorce. subsequently my ex husband has challenged the same in High court and appeal is filed before the Registrar, High Court.

Please suggest me if I can ask for permanent alimony and/or compensation during proceeding of the appeal in High Court for the loss of service besides of many other non monetary losses because of extended litigation as well as disturbance and nuisance created by my husband at my workplace.

In that appeal, judgement of one case is cited wherein the wife has been granted permanent alimony even without asking for it.
It would be relevant to mention here that my petition u/s 125 has been dismissed in lower court for non prosecution.

Please suggest that would it be worth to restore the case u/s 125 or should I pursue for the permanent alimony during an appeal by my ex-husband.
