CRR No. 2210 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH -- CRR No. 2210 of 2010 Date of decision: 06.05.2011 Hawa Singh ........ Petitioners Versus Smt. Santosh .......Respondent(s) Coram: Hon'ble Ms Justice Nirmaljit Kaur -.- Present: Mr. Parmod Parmar, Advocate for the petitioner -.- 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporter or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Nirmaljit Kaur, J. (Oral) This is a revision against the order and judgment dated 03.03.2010 passed by the District Judge, Family Court, Hisar, allowing the petition filed by the respondent under Section 125 Cr.P.C and also directing the petitioner to pay the respondent Rs.2,500/- per month on account of maintenance. The only argument raised by learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner was only 11 years old when the marriage was solemnized between the petitioner and the respondent and that the marriage was not a valid marriage. Admittedly, the petitioner has not filed any petition for declaration to the said effect. In fact, decree under Section 9 of the Hindu CRR No. 2210 of 2010 2 Marriage Act, 1955 has been passed in favour of the wife. Thus, as on date, the petitioner and respondent are still husband and wife. Admittedly, the petitioner is an able bodied person. He has admitted in his evidence that his father owns 40 acres of agricultural land. The petitioner too has share in the said land. The petitioner is also cultivating 4 acres of agricultural land belonging to his uncle. In view of the above, Rs.2500/- per month as awarded by the Family Court to the respondent towards her maintenance is not on the higher side. No ground. ` Dismissed.
