THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.4576 OF 2010 DATED: 31-01-2011 Between: Gaddam Sridhar. .... PETITIONER And Gaddam Pranitha. .... RESPONDENT ORDER: This Civil Revision Petition is directed against the order, dated 09-08-2010, in I.A.No.431 of 2010 in O.P.No.69 of 2009 on the file of the learned Senior Civil Judge, Mancherial, wherein the said application filed by the respondent for interim maintenance under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, was allowed awarding monthly maintenance of Rs.13,000/- payable on or before 10th of every month commencing from the month of September, 2010, besides granting the litigation expenses of Rs.20,000/-. 2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondent. Perused the record. 3. Petitioner herein filed O.P.No.69/2009 for divorce against his wife-respondent and the same is pending. Respondent filed I.A.No.431 of 2010 for interim maintenance of Rs.25,000/- per month besides litigation expenses of Rs.30,000/- on the ground that the petitioner is working as Software Engineer in the United States of America, whereas she is unemployed and unable to maintain herself. It is not disputed that the petitioner is working as Software Engineer in the United States of America. There is nothing on record to show that the respondent is doing any job or earning any income. The amount of Rs.13,000/- granted by the learned Senior Civil Judge, duly taking into consideration the cost of food, clothing and shelter commensurate with the standard of living of the parties and also the other basic necessities of life, cannot be considered to be excessive or unreasonable. Similarly, an amount of Rs.20,000/- granted towards the litigation expenses to be paid in lumpsum is also justified. There are absolutely no valid grounds to interfere with the impugned order passed by the Court below. 4. Accordingly, Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. Interim order granted on 12-11-2010 stands vacated. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 31st January, 2011. Tsy/ksm
