THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.5 OF 2011 ORDER: This Civil Revision Petition is directed against the order, dated 24.11.2010, in I.A.No.479 of 2010 in O.P.No.1677 of 2008 on the file of the learned Judge, family Court, Rangareddy District, wherein the said application filed by the respondent herein under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, was allowed granting interim maintenance of Rs.4000/- per month payable by the 10th of every succeeding month. 2. Heard both sides. Perused the records. 3. Petitioner herein filed I.A.No.1677 of 2008 for a decree of divorce. Respondent-wife is contesting the same. She filed I.A.No.479 of 2010 seeking interim maintenance of Rs.5000/-. During the pendency of the divorce proceedings, petitioner-husband filed a counter opposing the same. The learned Judge, Family Court, by the impugned docket order, granted interim maintenance of Rs.4000/- per month. Aggrieved by the same, petitioner herein-husband filed the present Civil Revision Petition. 4. While admitting the Civil Revision Petition, this Court by order, dated 10.02.2011, granted interim stay subject to payment of Rs.2000/- per month by the petitioner. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that though the petitioner is ready to pay the interim maintenance as per the interim order passed by this Court, respondent has not been attending the Family Court and therefore the amount has not been paid. 6. If the respondent was not attending the Court, nothing prevented the petitioner from depositing the arrears of maintenance and also current maintenance, as per the interim direction of this Court, to the credit of O.P.No.1677 of 2008. 7. Learned counsel for the respondent would submit that as of now a sum of Rs.10,000/- is due towards arrears of interim maintenance. On the other hand, learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the arrears are due only in a sum of Rs.4000/- and that they are ready to pay the same. 8. It is not disputed that the petitioner is employed in A.P.S.R.T.C. According to the respondent, petitioner is drawing total emoluments of Rs.30,000/- as per the salary certificate and that the petitioner is also running a taxi and drawing Rs.20,000/- per month and that he is also owning a house. 9. Petitioner on the other hand would contend that he is getting salary of Rs.9000/- only and that the two children, who are now pursuing engineering course, are staying with him and he has to meet their maintenance and educational expenses. 10. In the circumstances, instead of going into the merits of the case pertaining to the relevant assets and liabilities of the petitioner and the respondent, it is considered that the ends of justice would be met by directing the petitioner herein to pay the interim maintenance of Rs.3000/- per month to the respondent during the pendency of the divorce proceedings before the Family Court. The interim maintenance shall be paid before 10th of every succeeding month. Petitioner shall also pay the entire arrears due up to date, in pursuance of the interim order, dated 10.02.2011, and continue to pay the interim maintenance @ Rs.3000/- per month, commencing from this month. The first instalment shall be deposited into the Court by the 10th of September, 2011. 11. Having regard to the fact that the O.P. is of the year, 2008, the trial Court is also directed to dispose of the same at an early date, preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 12. In the result, Civil Revision Petition is disposed of as stated above. _______________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 19th August, 2011. Tsy
