THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION No.7958 of 2007 DATED: 22-04-2010 ORDER: This petition is filed seeking to quash the order, dated 01-11-2004, passed by the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Madanapalle in M.C.No.2 of 2002 and enhancing the maintenance to Rs.1000/- by order, dated 16-08-2005 in Crl.R.C.No.109 of 2004 on the file of the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Madanapalle. 2. When this matter was taken up on 18-01-2008, this Court while ordering notice before admission to the 1st respondent has not granted any interim stay. Further the amount of maintenance that has been ordered by the Courts below is only Rs.1000/- and it is not in dispute that the 1st respondent herein is the wife of the petitioner. When once it is admitted that she is the wife, in my considered view the husband has the duty to pay the said amount of Rs.1000/-, with which it is very hard to live in these days. I see no merits in this petition. 3. Accordingly, Criminal Petition is dismissed. _______________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA,J 22nd April, 2010 Tsy
