THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE NO.188 OF 2009 ORDER: 1 The wife who was unsuccessful in M.C.No.90 of 2007 on the file of the court of the IV Additional Junior Civil Judge, Guntur filed under section 125 of Cr.P.C approached this court and filed this revision questioning the order dated 05.11.2008. 2 Brief facts are that the Petitioner claiming to be the wife of the Respondent filed the said M.C. claiming maintenance @ Rs.5,000/- p.m. from the date of filing of the said petition. During the course of trial, the Petitioner was examined as P.W.1 and one K.Chinnabbai was examined as P.W.2. The Respondent herein was examined as R.W.1 and two more witnesses were examined as R.W.2 & 3. Having assessed the said evidence, the trial court came to the conclusion that the Petitioner is not entitled for any maintenance and accordingly dismissed the said M.C. 3 Heard. 4 Having perused the material on record and also the submissions made by both the counsel, this court is of the view that there was a valid marriage between the parties. In fact, in the court below the husband did not dispute the said marriage and he admitted the marriage with the Petitioner on 26.12.1996 and it is also stated that they both were in love with each other and thereafter they got themselves married against the wishes of their elders. 5 When once the marriage is proved and is not disputed by the husband and the wife came forward stating that she is unable to maintain herself, this court is of the view that the court below ought to have awarded some amount towards her maintenance. 6 As it is the contention of the wife i.e. Petitioner herein that her husband i.e. the Respondent is getting a salary of Rs.6,000/- p.m (of course, the same was disputed by the counsel for the Respondent), this court is of the view that ends of justice would be met if an amount of Rs.2,000/- is awarded to the wife towards her maintenance. 7 Accordingly, this revision is allowed, the order impugned in this revision is set aside and the Respondent – husband is hereby directed to pay an amount of Rs.2,000/- p.m. to the Petitioner towards her maintenance from the date of filing of the said M.C.No.90 of 2007. -------------- 21.03.2011 Kvsn
