IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD. Tuesday, the 12th day of July, 2011. Present: Hon’ble Sri Justice N. Ravi Shankar CRL.R.C.No. 1359 of 2011 Between: Syed Sadath Pasha …Petitioner And S. Jahera Bee and others …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRL.R.C.No. 1359 of 2011 Judgment Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. 2. The petitioner is the husband. Aggrieved by order dated: 31-1-2011 passed by the learned Judge, Family Court, Kurnool in F.C.O.P.No. 76 of 2007, which is a maintenance case under section 125 Cr.P.C. granting maintenance to the children of the petitioner, he has come up with this revision. 3. Admittedly the relationship of the petitioner with the children is not disputed. The Family Court after considering the matter granted an amount of Rs.1,500-00 each per month to both children, who are minors. The family Court considered all the aspects and held that the petitioner is liable to pay the above maintenance amount to them. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner pointed out that the petitioner has to maintain his parents, he is already providing maintenance to his wife, his income is only Rs.3,000-00 per month and he is not in a position to pay the amount of Rs.1,500-00 each to his two children. It may be noted that a father is bound to maintain his children and the question of pleading inability to maintain them or pay amounts ordered does not arise. In the present case the amount awarded is reasonable having regard to the present day cost of living. In these circumstances I find that the impugned order does not suffer from any illegality or infirmity. Accordingly this revision case is dismissed at the admission stage. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner across the Bar states that he is ready to take back his wife and children into his society and if that is so, it is always open for him to pursue the remedies available to him in that behalf. _____________________ N.
