JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. Ravinder Hooda, Advocate for the petitioner. JASWANT SINGH, J (ORAL) Crl.M.No.38571 of 2010 Application is allowed as prayed for. Crl.M.No.21741-M of 2010 Instant petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C is for setting aside order dated 11.3.2010 (P.1) passed by ld. Civil Judge (Jr.Divn.), Sonepat whereby respondent-husband has been directed to pay a sum of Rs.1500/- per month as maintenance allowance and order dated 17.7.2010 (P.3) passed by ld. Additional Sessions Judge (Ad hoc), Fast Track Court, Sonepat dismissing the revision petition. It is stated that marriage of the petitioner and the respondent was solemnized on 12.5.1960 as per Hindu rites and five children were born out of this wedlock. Age of the petitioner is 68 years whereas the respondent is 76 years old. It is submitted that the respondent, who is stated CRL.M.NO.21741-M of 2010 (O&M) #2# to have wilfully neglected to maintain the petitioner, owns agricultural land to the extent of 66 kanal and 15 marlas. Vide order dated 11.3.2010, ld. Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, Sonepat ordered Rs.1500/- per month as maintenance allowance to be paid by the respondent Shardha Nand on an application moved by the petitioner under Section 125 Cr.P.C. Feeling aggrieved against order dated 11.3.2010, petitioner filed a revision petition, which has also been dismissed by ld. Additional Sessions Judge (Ad hoc), Fast Track Court, Sonepat. Hence, the present petition has been filed for enhancement of compensation. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, I find that Rs.1500/- per month has rightly been awarded by the ld. Trial Court to the petitioner as maintenance allowance. There are concurrent findings of fact recorded by the ld. Courts below. Maintenance allowance is just an interim relief during the pendency of the petition filed under Section 125 Cr.P.C. I do not find any ground to interfere. Dismissed.
