1 WP : 977/2002 HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.977 of 2002 Prakash Bhaskar Sakhdeo ... Petitioner -Versus- Sou. Jyoti Prakash Sakhdeo & Ors. ... Respondents Mr. Sanjay Patil h/f Mr. P.M. Pradhan for Petitioner. CORAM: SMT. R.P. SONDURBALDOTA, J. Date : 17th November, 2011. P.C.:- 1. This writ petition essentially challenges the order dated 18th February 2000 passed by Judicial Magistrate First Class, Miraj enhancing the amount of compensation awarded to the respondents from Rs.300/- and Rs.200/- to Rs.1,000/- each. The petitioner has not challenged the original order of grant of maintenance to the respondents passed on 16th August 1994. The learned counsel for the petitioner states in fairness that after passage of 5 years, when the application for enhancement was filed by the respondents under Section 127 of Cr.P.C., some revision of amount of maintenance was justified. However, according 2 WP : 977/2002 to him, considering the responsibilities of the petitioner, the court of learned Magistrate ought not to have enhanced the amount of expenses to the extent of Rs.1,000/-, for each of the respondents. Even if that argument is to be accepted, the maintenance of Rs.1,000/- to each of the respondent would be perfectly justified today, 11 years after passing of the order of enhancement. The learned counsel states that after the first enhancement by the impugned order, no application for further enhancement has been filed on behalf of the respondents. Therefore, taking an overall view of the matter, I find no substance in the petition. The petition is dismissed. (Smt. R.P. SondurBaldota, J)
