The respondent/husband filed the O.P seeking divorce. Pending the O.P., the petitioner/wife filed the present I.A under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, to grant interim maintenance @ Rs.10,000/- per month and legal expenses of Rs.5,000/- to her. According to the petitioner/wife, the respondent/husband with ill intention forcibly left her at her parents house nearly two and half years back and that he was having illegal connection with one Bhavani, who is his co-trainer in the Mechanic Shop. Though her parents and elders tried to reconcile, the respondent did not show any interest to continue marital relation with her. She came to know that the respondent married the said Bhavani and living with her along with her children. It is also stated that the respondent is a business man and earning Rs.40,000/- per month; that his mother is not depending upon him and she is getting rental income, and that the petitioner is unable to maintain herself as she is depending upon her parents. The respondent contested the matter by filing a counter-affidavit denying the allegations made by the petitioner and stating that the petitioner on her own accord left his company on 06.06.2003; that she does not want to stay with his mother and grandmother; that with a view to harass him, she filed a case against him under Section 498-A I.P.C alleging that he married one lady by name Bhavani and the same is pending before the Addl.M.M.Court, Sanga Reddy, Medak District and that she is running a Beauty Parlour at Uppal and earning a net income of Rs.5000/- per month. He further stated that he is running only T.V.Service center and getting Rs.3,000/- to Rs.5,000/- per month and from the said money he has to give education to his two daughters, and incur medical expenses to his mother and grand- mother. Therefore, he prayed to dismiss the petition. The Court below, after hearing the learned counsel for both the parties and considering the material available on record, allowed the I.A. on 28.11.2008 awarding an amount of Rs.2,000/- per month as interim maintenance and an amount of Rs.1,000/- towards legal expenses to the petitioner. Seeking further enhancement of interim maintenance and legal expenses, the petitioner filed this revision petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondent. Though it is contended by the respondent that the petitioner is running a Beauty Parlour and getting an income of Rs.5,000/- per month, he has not produced any material to substantiate the same. However, since the respondent is having a duty to maintain his two daughters, who are aged about 18 years and 16 years, as well as his mother and grand-mother, who are said to be living with him, to meet the ends of justice, it would be appropriate to dispose of the Civil Revision Petition with the following direction. The respondent is directed to pay an amount of Rs.3,000/- (Three Thousand only) per month to the petitioner as interim maintenance. The Civil Revision Petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. N.V.RAMANA, J Date.02.02.2010 va
