NO. 287 OF 2009 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 16th day of March, 2010. O R D E R This revision is preferred against the order of the Family Court, Kozhikode in M.C.282/07. The main dispute is only regarding the quantum. The respondent is working abroad and on that basis the Family Court has awarded Rs.2,000/- as maintenance. The learned counsel for the revision petitioner would contend before me that he is only a manual worker therein and his income is only sufficient for his existence there. I am not prepared to accept that contention as such. But there are cases where people work in difficult conditions in gulf countries as well. Taking into consideration those aspects I am inclined to show a slight leniency by decreasing the maintenance amount by Rs.200/-. Therefore the R.P.(F.C.) is disposed of by modifying the order of maintenance from Rs.2,000/- to Rs.1,800/- per month payable from the date of petition. The amount, if any, paid or deposited shall be taken credit to. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
