IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) 11.2.2010 PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED CIVIL REVISON PETITION NO : 366 OF 2010 Between: Sunkara Kasi S/o Late Simhachalam ..... PETITIONER AND Sunkara Manga Ratnam W/o Kasi .....RESPONDENT ORDER: This Civil Revision Petition has been filed being aggrieved by the order passed in I.A.No. 249 of 2009 in O.P.No. 28 of 2008 dated 23.10.2009 on the file of Senior Civil Judge at Chodavaram. O.P.NO. 28 of 2008 was filed under Section 13(1)(ia)(ib) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1956 for dissolution of marriage between the petitioner and the first respondent therein. I.A was filed to direct the respondent to pay Rs. 4,000/- per month towards maintenance of the petitioner-wife and her daughter pending disposal of O.P. The trial Court after taking into consideration that the respondent-husband has got ownership of Ac. 6.00 cts of land, sand business etc, to be established during the course of trial, directed the respondent- husband to pay maintenance of Rs. 1500/- per month from the date of petition i.e., April, 2009 till the termination of OP proceedings and also directed to maintain her child. Aggrieved by the same, the husband filed the presnt Civil Revision Petition. Heard the learned counsel appearing for both sides and also perused the material made available on record. As seen from the record, OP proceedings are pending and the marital tie between the spouses is subsisting. Therefore, as long as the marital tie subsists between the spouses, husband is bound to maintain her wife till the marriage is dissolved by due process of law. To meet the exigencies in the present day context and also due to rising of prices, granting of maintenance at Rs. 1500/- per month by the trial Court, in my considered view, is just and proper. In the circumstances, there is no illegality or irregularity in the order passed by the trial court. The Civil Revision Petition fails and accordingly, the same is dismissed at the stage of admission itself. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J Dt. 11.02.2010 KA ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1. 2 CD Copies
