NO. 230 OF 2006 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 1st day of March, 2010. O R D E R This revision is preferred against the order of the Family Court, Kozhikode in C.M.P.1219/05 in M.C.348/01. By virtue of the order dated 5.11.01 the minor child was ordered to be paid maintenance at the rate of Rs.300/-. Now the child has grown up and at the time of filing of the petition he was 9 years old. The Family Court awarded a maintenance of Rs.1,250/-. It is against that decision the father has come up in revision. 2. The contention of the mother is to the effect that her husband was running a hotel and was having substantial income. The Family Court did not accept that contention and found him to be only a coolie and fixed his income at Rs.6,000/- and granted the maintenance. One may not be able to get coolie work on all days and it has also come out in evidence that he has married again and there are two children in the wedlock. So he has to maintain a new family as well in R.P.(F.C.) NO. 230 OF 2006 -:2:- the case. Taking into consideration all these materials together I feel the amount of maintenance can be fixed at Rs.1,000/- instead of Rs.1,250/-. In the result R.P.(F.C.) is partly allowed and the order of maintenance awarded is modified from Rs.1,250/- to Rs.1,000/- payable from 1.8.2006. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
