THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY Crl.P.No.1132/2004 Dt,8-7-2010 Reddy Venkata Suryanarayana ..Petitioner V. 1. The State of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P. Hyderabad and another.. ..Respondents The Court made the following: THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY Crl.P.No.1132/2004 ORAL ORDER This petition is filed under Sec. 482 Cr.P.C., to quash the orders dt. 30-12-2003 passed in Crl.R.P.No.63/2000 on the file of VI Additional District & Sessions Judge (Fast Track Court), Krishna, Machilipatnam, whereunder revision filed by the petitioner herein against the orders of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Kaikalur granting monthly maintenance to the respondent herein at Rs.500/- dt. 3-11-2000 passed in MC No.26/1997 was dismissed. Both the courts concurrently held that the petitioner-husband having sufficient means neglected and refused to provide maintenance to the respondent-wife. Considering the cost of living, award of maintenance at Rs.500/- per month is not excessive. I do not see any ground to interfere with the order passed by the learned Sessions Judge confirming the order passed by the learned Magistrate granting maintenance. The Criminal Petition is accordingly dismissed. ______________ A.GOPAL REDDY,J Dt.8-7-2010 kmr
