IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Rev.No.2515 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision : 23.9.2009 Naresh @ Mohender ....Petitioner Versus Smt. Savita and another ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present: Mr.Rajinder Sorout, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. This is a petition directed against the order dated 16.7.2009 by which maintenance allowance @ Rs.2,000/- per month to respondent No.1 and @ Rs.1,000/- per month to respondent No.2 has been granted pursuant to the provisions of Section 125 Cr.P.C. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the amount of maintenance is exorbitant and that the petitioner is a labourer. The perusal of the record shows that the petitioner even did not participate in the proceedings and there is no material on record to show that he was not sufficiently possessed of requisite means to meet the amount of maintenance that has been granted to the respondents. Since the petitioner has not participated in the proceedings and he has not placed any material on the file from Crl.Rev.No.2515 of 2009 (O&M) -2- which it can be inferred that the amount awarded by the court below is exorbitant, I am of the considered opinion that the impugned order does not warrant any interference. The petition is accordingly dismissed. 23.9.2009 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
