KRISHNAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = R.P.(F.C.) NO. 46 OF 2006 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 1st day of March, 2010. O R D E R This revision is preferred against the order of the Family Court, Kozhikode in M.C.405/04. The minor child aged 5 years had been awarded a maintenance of Rs.1,800/- and it is challenging that quantum the husband has come up in revision. 2. Heard. A perusal of the order would reveal that both the husband and wife are teachers. The child is only 5 years old. The husband would contend that his carry home salary is only Rs.4,500/-. He is residing in a rented accommodation in Thrissur and he has to look after both his parents. Therefore he prays for leniency. It has to be stated that the wife is also employed and more or less both the parents are equally placed. The age of the child is only 5 years. Therefore taking into consideration all these aspects together I feel a monthly maintenance of Rs.1,500/- will suffice the need for the time being. Therefore the revision R.P.(F.C.) NO. 46 OF 2006 -:2:- petition is partly allowed by modifying the order of maintenance in favour of the minor child from Rs.1,800/- to Rs.1,500/- payable from 31.12.04. The mother is entitled to receive the amount on behalf of the child. If any amount is paid or deposited that shall be taken credit to. R.P.(F.C.) is disposed of accordingly. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
