THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.410 of 2011 JUDGMENT: This revision is directed against the order dated 12.1.2011 passed in Crl.A.No.457 of 2010 by the V Metropolitan Sessions Judge confirming the order dated 17.9.2010 passed by the IV Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, in Crl.M.P.No.910 of 2010 in DVC No.216 of 2010, whereby the 2nd respondent-wife is permitted to reside in the shared household, and the petitioner-husband is directed to pay an amount of Rs.5,000/- towards interim monetary relief. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submitted that the Court below while permitting the 2nd respondent-wife to stay in the shared household, made it clear that in case, she is not willing to reside in the shared house, an alternate accommodation has to be provided to her, in default, the petitioner-husband shall pay Rs.1,000/- towards rent of alternate accommodation. Basing on that, it is submitted by the learned counsel that in view of the present circumstances, it is not desirable for the parties to reside under one roof. On the other hand, the learned Counsel for the respondent-wife submitted that though an amount of Rs.1,000/- was awarded in case of alternate accommodation, but the respondent-wife cannot get any alternate accommodation of the same level being enjoyed by her presently in the shared household, for such a meagre amount. In fact, in the order in Crl.M.P.No.910 of 2010, the trial Court while permitting the respondent-wife to stay in shared household, further directed the petitioner-husband to pay an amount of Rs.5,000/- towards interim monetary relief. As rightly contended by the learned Counsel for the petitioner- husband, when the relationship is not cordial, it is not desirable for both the parties to stay under one roof. In view of this and in view of the standard of living of the parties coupled with the fact that the amount of Rs.1,000/- granted by the Courts below towards the alternate accommodation, is too meagre as contended by the learned Counsel for the respondent-wife, this Court is of the view that it is just and proper to direct the petitioner-husband to pay an amount of Rs.3,500/- p.m. towards alternate accommodation besides paying Rs.5,000/- towards interim monetary relief, in order to maintain harmonious relationship between the parties during the pendency of the litigation. The order impugned herein is modified accordingly. Subject to the above modification, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of directing the petitioner-husband to pay total amount of Rs.8,500/- p.m. (Rs.3,500/- towards rent of alternate accommodation + Rs.5,000/- towards interim monetary relief) to the 2nd respondent-wife on or before 5th of every succeeding month. _______________________________ JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA 07.03.2011 Nn THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.410 of 2011 07.03.2011
