IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH: HYDERABAD WEDNESDAY, THE TWENTY THIRD DAY OF JUNE TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1007 OF 2010 BETWEEN: Penubothu Venkata Lakshmi Suresh Kumar …. Petitioner AND Penubothu Padmaja and another …. Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1007 OF 2010 ORDER: The husband seeks to question interim maintenance order passed by the Judge, Family Court, Vijayawada in Criminal M.P. No.71 of 2008 in C.C. No.191 of 2007 to the wife at Rs.1,500/- per month under Section 125 Cr.P.C. 2. It is contended by the petitioner’s counsel that the first respondent/wife is having sufficient means, as she is possessed of huge properties and getting income therefrom. It is also contended that there is an ex parte order of divorce between the parties passed by the Court and that petition filed by the wife for setting aside the ex parte decree of divorce was also dismissed for default. As can be seen from the impugned order, the petitioner/husband did not place any prima facie proof for the said contention. Those contentions have to be decided by the lower Court after due enquiry, when all the parties let in their oral and documentary evidence. 3. The amount of maintenance granted by the lower Court is very small. The lower Court granted interim maintenance from the date of filing of interim maintenance application and not from the date of filing of maintenance case. I do not find any legal infirmity in the order passed by the lower Court. 4. Hence, the revision petition is dismissed. The lower Court is directed to dispose of the main maintenance case as expeditiously as possible and preferably within three (3) months from the date of receipt of copy of this order, subject to cooperation of both the parties and their counsel in the lower Court. __________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J June 23, 2010 KTL
