Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. None appears for the respondents. Perused the record. 3. The respondents 2 to 4 herein filed DVC No.2 of 2009 against the petitioner before the Judicial Magistrate of I Class, Venkatagiri seeking various reliefs under the Act. The 2nd respondent herein is the wife, respondents 3 and 4 are the children of the petitioner. The respondents 2 to 4 herein filed Crl.M.P.No.5149 of 2010 in DVC No.2 of 2009 before the Magistrate, seeking maintenance of Rs.10,000/- per month and also to pay lump sum amount of Rs.1,70,000/- towards educational expenses of the children. By order dated 21.04.2011, the learned Magistrate, Venkatagiri, allowed the said application, directing the petitioner herein to pay maintenance amount of Rs.50,000/- and lumpsum amount of Rs.1,70,000/- towards educational expenses, making up a total Rs.2,20,000/-. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed CRP No.20 of 2011 before the III Additional District & Sessions Judge (FTC), Nellore and the same is pending. The petitioner filed Crl.M.P.No.107 of 2011 seeking stay of operation of the order dated 21.04.2011 in DVC No.2 of 2009. 4. As the revision petition is pending, it is considered neither just nor prudent to enter in to the merits of the case in the present proceedings. The learned Additional Sessions Judge in the impugned order has granted stay directing the petitioner to deposit only Rs.50,000/-within one month. The amount thus has been substantially reduced from Rs.2,20,000/- granted by the learned Magistrate to Rs.50,000/-. Any further deduction in the amount is not feasible. The petitioner is directed to deposit the said amount of Rs.50,000/- as directed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, within a period of eight (8) weeks, from today, failing which the interim stay granted by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, shall stand vacated. The learned Additional Sessions Judge is directed to dispose of the revision itself at an early date. 5. In the result, the criminal petition is disposed of accordingly. __________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J Date: 30.06.2011 bss
