1 WP 1574-2010 Anand IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.1574 OF 2010 Jaywant Bapu Mali ..Petitioner V/s. Rajakka Jaywant Mali & anr. ..Respondents Mr.Kuldeep Nikam, Advocate, for the Petitioner Mr.Y.M.Nakhawa, APP, for Respondent No.2 - State CORAM : R.C.CHAVAN, J. DATE : 18TH FEBRUARY, 2011 P.C. . Heard the learned Counsel for the respective parties. 2. It is unfortunate that the husband has knocked the doors for questioning maintenance amount of Rs.750/- per month which the learned Magistrate has ordered to be paid to his wife towards maintenance, on a false ground that his salary has been reduced. After a departmental enquiry was initiated, his increments have been postponed or stopped. 2 WP 1574-2010 There is no reduction in salary. Therefore, there is no warrant in contending that maintenance allowance of Rs.1,500/- fixed by the learned Magistrate and left undisturbed by the Sessions Judge was improper. 3. Writ Petition is dismissed. (R.C.CHAVAN, J.)
