IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD FRIDAY, THE TWENTY SEVENTH DAY OF AUGUST TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1511 OF 2010 Between: Mohd. Faheem Shareef … PETITIONER And 1. Mohammadi Begum 2. Faiza Fathima 3. The State of A.P. … RESPONDENTS This Court made the following: HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1511 OF 2010 ORDER: 1. The petitioner is husband of the first respondent and father of the minor second respondent. The lower Court granted interim maintenance of Rs.2,000/- per month to the wife and Rs.750/- per month to the minor child. The dispute is only with regard to quantum of interim maintenance. According to the petitioner, he is working in a pan shop at Hyderabad. On the other hand, the respondents 1 and 2 contend that the petitioner is employed in United Arab Emirates and spends most of his time in overseas and that he is now earning Rs.50,000/- per month presently. 2. The petitioner’s counsel contends that the petitioner had returned from U.A.E. and is only a pan shop worker in old city now and that interim maintenance of Rs.2,000/- per month granted to the wife is excessive. The first respondent claimed interim maintenance of Rs.10,000/- per month to herself and Rs.5,000/- per month to the minor child. Interim maintenance is granted on the basis of pleadings and any documents filed along with the pleadings. No formal proof is insisted in interim maintenance proceedings. Admittedly, there is relationship between the parties and both the parties are living separately from each other. Amount of maintenance granted to the wife at Rs.2,000/- per month works out at Rs.67/- per day which is bare minimum. I do not find any valid reasons to interfere with the said quantum of maintenance granted to the respondents 1 and 2 in this revision petition. 3. Hence, the criminal revision petition is dismissed. ______________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J August 27, 2010 KL HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1511 OF 2010 August 27, 2010 KL
