THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1902 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Revision Case is filed by the petitioner, who is the father of respondents 2 and 3 herein, aggrieved by order dated 06.01.2010 passed by the Judge, Family Court-cum-Additional District Court, Mahabubnagar, in M.C.No.24 of 2009, whereby the petition filed under Section 125 Cr.P.C. by the 2nd and 3rd respondents herein was allowed as under: “Respondent who is father of petitioners is directed to pay a sum of Rs.5,000/- to each petitioner towards their maintenance from date of filing of the petition. Respondent is directed to pay maintenance amount every month on or before 10th of every month by sending the same through Money Order to P.w.1 Manjula, mother of petitioners. Respondent is permitted to pay arrears of maintenance amount from date of filing of MC till date of this order in two instalments. Respondent is directed to pay maintenance amount to the petitioners commencing from the month of January, 2010.” Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the impugned order is an ex parte order and the amount awarded by the Court below towards maintenance is exorbitant and beyond capacity of the petitioner. A reading of the impugned order would go to show that the petitioner herein has got Acs.10.00 of agricultural land and was receiving rents of Rs.12,000/-per month. Thus, considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner, the quantum of payment of monthly maintenance of Rs.5,000/- each to the 2nd and 3rd respondents herein awarded by the trial Court is reduced to that of payment of monthly maintenance of Rs.3,500/- (Three Thousand Five Hundred only) each to the 2nd and 3rd respondents herein. The other conditions in the impugned order dated 06.01.2010 passed by the Judge, Family Court- cum-Additional District Court, Mahabubnagar, in M.C.No.24 of 2009, shall remain unaltered. With the above modification, this Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 14.09.2011 V V
