THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No. 210 of 2009 ORDER: This Criminal Revision Case is filed against the order dated 13.02.2008 in M.C.No.11 of 2005 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Chevella, Ranga Reddy District. A claim was made by the mother against the respondents 1 to 4 claiming maintenance as she was unable to maintain herself. The respondents 2 to 4 are said to be Central Government employees and drawing a salary of Rs.15,000/- per month. The revision petitioner, who is the 2nd respondent, filed a counter contending that he was drawing a salary of Rs.4,000/- per month and is prepared to pay a sum of Rs.300/- per month. After considering the material on record, the learned Magistrate granted maintenance of Rs.1,000/- per month payable by each of the respondents 1 to 3 to the petitioner-mother from September, 2005. Questioning the said quantum, the 2nd respondent has filed this revision case. The point for consideration is whether the order of the lower Court in granting maintenance of Rs.1,000/- payable by each of the respondents 1 to 3 is reasonable? POINT: The fact that the petitioner before the lower Court was the mother and she was aged more than 70 years and that she has no source of income and she cannot maintain herself, is not in dispute. The fact that the revision petitioner herein, who is only contesting the claim, is an employee in Defence, is also not in dispute. Though the revision petitioner claimed that he was drawing a salary of only Rs.4,000/-, no document is filed. It is difficult to believe for a Central Government employee, the salary is only Rs.4,000/-. In fact, by now the mother must have become aged nearly 80 years. The need for her medical expenses and also the maintenance and cost of living does not warrant any interference with the order of the lower Court. Therefore, there are absolutely no merits in the revision case and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. ________________________ N.R.L.
