Sou.Sanjaya Purshottam Khandagle .. ..Respondent Ms.Aparna More for Applicant. Mr.Pratap Patil for Res.No.1. Mrs.A.A.Mane, APP. ---- CORAM : SMT.ROSHAN DALVI, J. Dated : 30th November 2009 P.C. : 1.This Application has challenged the order of the learned Family Court Judge, Pune, dated 29.11.2008, directing the Applicant to pay maintenance of Rs. 3,500/- per month to the Respondent from the date of that Application being March 2008. In a well reasoned order, the learned Judge has considered the liability of the Applicant to his wife as also other family members. The Applicant s father is drawing a pension of Rs.2,800/- per month and the rental premises taken by the Applicant are considered. The income of the Respondent is of Rs.50,000/- per month and a requirement of their residential premises is also considered. 2 2.The Applicant has not paid absolutely any maintenance to his wife. An ad-hoc amount of Rs.5,000/- is deposited. The Applicant was directed to deposit maintenance as fixed by the learned Family Court Judge, failing which this Criminal Revision Application would be dismissed. 3.The only case of the Applicant is that he is in financial crisis. The Applicant is required to support his parents. If the Applicant is in financial crisis and supports his parents, he is required to equally support his wife also. His father is shown to be a pensioner. Despite that the expense of supporting his parents is shown. No such expense is incurred for the wife. For want of deposit as directed, the Criminal Revision Application is dismissed. The execution proceedings taken out by the wife shall continue. (SMT.ROSHAN DALVI, J.)
