SD/= M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE /TRUE COPY/ cl M.N. KRISHNAN, J. ........................................... R.P.(F.C).No.21 OF 2010 ............................................. Dated this the 30th day of March, 2010. O R D E R This revision is preferred against the order of the Family Court, Malappuram in M.C.No.571/2009. An 18 year old wife has moved an application for maintenance against the husband and the family court has granted maintenance at the rate of Rs.3,000/=. The main dispute is regarding the quantum. The only material available is that the wife has pleaded that he is carpenter and in the ration card there is an entry as carpenter. On the basis of the same and the fact that the husband is maintaining five others of the family, the family court directed to pay maintenance at the rate of Rs.3,000/= per month. 2. It is true that a carpenter profession is a lucrative profession, but for making it lucrative, one must be expert and experienced person. Here materials are not available to show that the revision petitioner is running a furniture shop. Therefore it may not be correct to jump to a conclusion that just because he is a carpenter, his income : 2 : R.P.(F.C).No.21 OF 2010 is fabulous. 3. Therefore taking into consideration the entire materials and the fact that the revision petitioner is maintaining five others of the family, reserving the right of the wife to move for enhancement when time comes under Section 127 of Cr.P.C, I refix the maintenance at the rate of Rs.2,300/= per month payable from the date of petition. Any amount is paid or deposited, that shall be given credit to. Disposed of accordingly. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE cl : 3 : R.P.(F.C).No.21 OF 2010
