Cr. MMO No.41/2009 15.06.2009 Present: Mr. Ajay Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. N.K. Thakur, Advocate, for the respondent. Heard and gone through the record. Present petitioners are the wife and a minor son of respondent Harmit Singh. They have been living separate from respondent, because some differences cropped up between petitioner Kulwinder Kaur and respondent Harmit Singh. An application was moved, under Section 125 Cr. P.C., for award of monthly maintenance allowance in favour of the petitioners. Learned Judicial Magistrate allowed that application and came to the conclusion that the monthly income of the respondent was Rs.3000 to Rs.4000 per month (sic probably she wanted to say that it was Rs.30,000 to Rs.40,000 per month) and awarded maintenance allowance @ Rs.7000/- in favour of petitioner No.2 and Rs.6000/- in favour of petitioner No.1. Respondent filed revision petition in the Sessions Court. Learned Sessions Judge partly allowed the revision and reduced the maintenance allowance from Rs.6000/- in favour of petitioner No.1 to Rs.3500/- and from Rs.7000/- in favour of respondent No.2 to Rs.1500/- per month. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record of the trial Court. Finding of the learned Sessions Judge that income of the respondent is Rs.13000-14000 per month has not been seriously challenged. Though learned counsel for the petitioners says that income is much more than what has been held by the learned Sessions Judge, yet from the evidence on record he has not been able to convince that income of the respondent is more than Rs.13000 -14000, per month. It - 2 - Cr.MMO No.41/2009 has come in the evidence that petitioner No.1 is working as a teacher and drawing a salary of Rs.4500/- per month. Looking to all the aforesaid facts and circumstances, I do not think the learned Sessions Judge has committed any illegality in passing the impugned order, thereby reducing the monthly maintenance allowance awarded to the petitioners by the trial Court. Hence, the petition is dismissed. June 15, 2009 (ss) ( Surjit Singh ), J.
