THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.5501 of 2008 ORDER: This civil revision petition is filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India assailing the order dated 16.10.2008 passed by the Family Judge, Ranga Reddy District at L.B.Nagar in I.A.No.405 of 2008 in O.S.No.11 of 2008. The petitioner is the wife of the first respondent. She filed the above suit against the first respondent seeking maintenance of Rs.10,000/- per month. In the said suit, she filed I.A.No.2511 of 2006 claiming interim maintenance and the Court below, by order dated 11.12.2007, granted interim maintenance to her @ Rs.2,000/- per month. Since the first respondent was evading payment of maintenance, she filed the present Interlocutory Application under Order XXI Rule 46(A)(B) CPC to issue directions to respondents 2 and 3 to withhold the retirement benefits that are due to be paid to the first respondent consequent on his retirement from service on 30.06.2008 and not to disburse the same to the first respondent; to pay Rs.40,000/- to her towards arrears of interim maintenance due to her, as per the orders passed in I.A.No.2511 of 2006, dated 11.12.2007 or in the alternative to deposit Rs.40,000/- to the credit of the suit. The first respondent contested the application by filing a counter denying payment of interim maintenance to the petitioner. In the said counter it is stated that though he was drawing salary of Rs.23,000/- in gross, after deductions he was getting Rs.16,000/- per month; that he availed loans towards marriage of their daughter, education of his son and medical treatment for the petitioner/plaintiff and after deductions he was getting only Rs.4,000/- per month at the time of retirement and that his son is working as Assistant Executive Engineer, R.W.S.Maniair Dam, Karimnagar, getting salary of Rs.20,000/- per month and contributing towards the maintenance of the petitioner. The Court below, after considering the entire material available on record, by the impugned order dated 16.10.2008 directed respondents 2 and 3 to withhold a sum of Rs.40,000/- out of the retirement benefits payable to the first respondent. Aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner filed this Civil Revision Petition contending that though the Court below came to the conclusion that respondents 2 and 3 are liable to withhold the retirement benefits of the first respondent, it erred in finally directing them to withhold only an amount of Rs.40,000/- out of the retirement benefits payable to the first respondent. This Court, on 08.12.2008, while admitting the revision petition, granted interim direction as prayed for. As the first respondent violated the order of this Court, dated 08.12.2008, the petitioner has also filed C.C.No.390 of 2010. On 22.04.2010, this Court directed the first respondent to pay arrears till 08.12.2009, amounting to Rs.72,000/-, by way of cheque, to the petitioner on or before 28.04.2010. Pursuant to the said order, the first respondent paid an amount of Rs.50,000/- on 09.06.2010. The learned counsel for the petitioner contended that as of today, the petitioner is entitled to Rs.1,16,000/- towards interim maintenance and that as the first respondent retired from service, a direction may be issued to respondents 2 and 3 to withhold the entire benefits whatever the first respondent is entitled to, until the disposal of the suit. The direction as sought for by the learned counsel for the petitioner cannot be issued by this Court. However, as the first respondent has already paid an amount of Rs.50,000/-, the petitioner is at liberty to move the Family Court, Ranga Reddy for recovery of the balance amount. With the above observation, the Civil Revision Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. N.V.RAMANA, J Date.20.07.2010 va
