THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARA CRIMINAL PETITION No.4194 of 2009 ORDER: This Criminal Petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is directed against Revisional Order passed by the VI Additional Sessions Judge, Vikarabad, confirming interim maintenance of Rs.2,000/- per month granted to the 2nd respondent. It is stated that the said interim maintenance was granted against the petitioners 1 and 2. The 2nd respondent is wife of late son of the petitioners 1 and 2. Against interim maintenance order passed by the Magistrate in D.V.C.No.2 of 2008, the petitioners 1 and 2 should have filed appeal under Section 29 of the Act before the Sessions Court. But they have chosen to file a Revision Petition before the Sessions Court. 2. The main contention put forward by the petitioners is that father of the 2nd respondent collected Rs.50,000/- in a panchayat and therefore, the 2nd respondent is not entitled for any interim maintenance. At this stage, there is no proof produced to show that father of the 2nd respondent collected Rs.50,000/- in any panchayat, and if so, from whom and towards what head. It is not the petitioners case that any amount was paid to the 2nd respondent by way of any permanent alimony or when the 2nd respondent relinquished her future right of maintenance. In any event, it is a matter which has to be proved during regular enquiry in D.V.C.No.2 of 2008. As the matter now stands, the 2nd respondent who is the widowed daughter-in-law, has to maintain herself and is entitled for maintenance from the petitioners 1 and 2, pending enquiry in the Domestic Violence Case. The sum of Rs.2,000/- per month awarded towards interim maintenance is too low as it works out at Rs.66/- per day. There are no grounds or circumstances to interfere with the impugned order passed by the Additional Sessions Judge. 2. In the result, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. ______________________________ JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU Dt:22.12.2011 ysk THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.4194 of 2009 Dt:22.12.2011 ysk
