HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION NO.3370 OF 2010 Date: 15.04.2010 Between: A. Chittibabu ……Petitioner And: Smt Laxmi Shilpa Devi and 2 others ……Respondents. HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION NO.3370 OF 2010 ORDER: This petition is filed by the husband/father against concurrent orders passed by the courts below granting interim maintenance to the 1st respondent/wife and 2nd respondent/minor daughter. The petitioner’s counsel fairly submitted that in so far as interim maintenance granted to the 2nd respondent/minor daughter is concerned, the petitioner is not intending to pursue his prayer. In so far as the 1st respondent/wife is concerned, both the courts below granted interim maintenance of Rs.2,500/- per month. It is contended by the petitioner’s counsel that both the parties did not lead any evidence with regard to status and income of both of them and that therefore, grant of maintenance of Rs.2,500/- per month is excessive. Quantum of maintenance is a question of fact. In interim maintenance application, prima facie contentions and documents, if any, of both the parties are concerned. This Court does not find any reasons to interfere with quantum of interim maintenance awarded by the courts below. Hence, the petition is dismissed. ___________________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU,J Date:15.04.2010. Gk.
