THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CRL.R.C.No. 2123 of 2010 JUDGMENT: This criminal revision case is directed against the order dated 10.08.2010 in M.C.No.35 of 2009 on the file of Judge, Family Court- cum-Additional District Judge, Guntur wherein the claim of the petitioners was allowed in part awarding Rs.2,500/- per month to the first petitioner and Rs.1000/- per month to the second petitioner. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners. None appears for the first respondent though served with the notice. Perused the records. It is not in dispute that the first petitioner is the wife and the second petitioner is the minor son of the first respondent. In view of the disputes between the parties, the petitioners have been living separately from the first respondent. The finding of the learned Judge, Family Court that the petitioners herein are justified in living separately from the first respondent is not assailed. The present revision case is filed seeking enhancement of maintenance amount on the ground that the first respondent who is a Government employee is drawing gross salary of Rs.11000/- per month. As seen from the impugned order, the first respondent is working as an attender in the Irrigation Department and his gross salary is Rs.11,000/- per month but, after deductions, the net salary is only Rs.7,000/- per month. Taking into consideration, the relevant assets and liabilities of the first petitioner and the first respondent and the genuine needs of the petitioners and their requirements, the learned Judge, Family Court awarded Rs.2,500/- per month to the first petitioner and Rs.1,000/- per month to the second petitioner. The quantum of maintenance awarded to the first petitioner in the circumstances of the case does not call for any interference. However, as the second petitioner is a boy aged seven years and is studying, it is considered, the amount awarded to him be enhanced by Rs.500/- per month. In the circumstances, the first respondent shall pay maintenance of Rs.2,500/- per month to the first petitioner as awarded by the family court and pay Rs.1,500/- per month to the second petitioner before 10th of every month from the date of the order in the Maintenance Case. The impugned order is modified accordingly. The criminal revision case is disposed of as stated above.
