IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.1229 of 2007 SHIV NATH SINGH Versus POONAM DEVI ----------- 3 26.8.2008 No one appears on behalf of the petitioner. This Court does not find any error in the impugned order directing the petitioner, the husband, to pay a sum of Rs. 2,000/- for maintenance towards his wife and Rs. 500/- towards his daughter. This Court also does not find any error in consolidated amount of cost of litigation quantifying at Rs. 10,000/-. Considering the fact that the income of the petitioner has been assessed by the Court below which has found the petitioner to be not only being agriculturist but also having acquired a good amount of property from his father and also a regular source of income from the rent of his building, the impugned order can also not be faulted on the quantum of the amount of maintenance. That apart, when the Court below has also considered the comparative requirement vis-à-vis comparative income of both the spouses, the impugned order also does not suffer from any material irregularity much less jurisdictional error. That being so, this civil revision application is 2 dismissed with a direction to the Court below that it must ensure that arrears and current amount as per the impugned order is paid by the petitioner within a period of one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
