IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.25 of 2006 Gyandeo Sharma @ Gyandeo Prasad Sharma son of late Brij Lal Sharma, R/o mohalla- Kashim Bazar, P.S. Kasim Bazar, Dist. Munger. ---- Petitioner Versus Renu Kumari daughter of Rajendra Sharma, resident of mohalla-Kasim Bazar, P.S.-Kasim Bazar, Dist. Munger. --- Opp. Party. For the Petitioner: Mr. Dhirendra Nath Jha, Advocate. For the State: Mr. Jharkhandi Upadhyay, APP. ----------- 04 06.07.2010 Heard both sides. Petitioner, who is husband, has filed the present application and seeks to challenge the order dated 20.10.2005, passed by learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Munger in Maintenance case no. 17M/82. A few relevant facts need to be mentioned. Opposite party herein being the wife of the petitioner filed a Maintenance case bearing no. 17M of 1982, whereby a claim of Rs. 300/- (Three hundred) was raised. The opposite party/wife made such claim for maintaining herself in view of the income position of the husband. On a consideration of the entire matter and evidence brought on record, the Family Court by order dated 12.10.2001, directed for payment of a sum of Rs. 300/- in favour of the opposite party for her maintenance. The husband dissatisfied with the aforesaid order approached this Court and subsequently to the Hon’ble Supreme Court. After dismissal of his special leave petition he started paying the amount as fixed by the Family Court. It appears that few years thereafter i.e. on 16.04.2003 an application under Section 127 of the Code of Criminal Procedure 2 was filed by the wife/opposite party for enhancement of the amount of maintenance. Learned Court below found it apposite to permit the parties to adduce evidence. Consequently the opposite party herein adduced oral evidence and examined herself, her father and one independent witness. Petitioner, however, did not adduce any oral evidence but placed on record Exhibits A & A/5 which is/are his pay slips. Learned trial Court on a consideration of entire materials on record found that the present petitioner (husband) is now in receipt of carry home salary of Rs. 7979.89 paise. Having regard to all aspects of the matter, it has been directed that wife/opposite party shall be entitled to payment of a sum of Rs. 2000/- (Two thousand) as maintenance w.e.f. 16.04.2003. This Court on perusal of the materials on record is satisfied that the Court below has rightly considered all aspects of the matter in right perspective and has come to the said conclusion. There is no merit in this application. It is, accordingly, dismissed. Sym ( Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
