HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA C.R.P.NO.3337 OF 2009 Dt.15.12.2010 Between: Gonuguntla Savitridevi and another ..Petitioners And Kommuri Srinivas ..Respondent HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA C.R.P.NO.3337 OF 2009 ORDER: There is a long checkered history to this petition which has arisen because of the strained relations between petitioner No.1 and the respondent, who are wife and husband respectively. In the maintenance case filed by petitioner No.1 and petitioner No.2, who are wife and daughter respectively of the respondent, the Civil Court granted maintenance at the rate of Rs.8,000/- per month in favour of petitioner No.2, daughter of the respondent. As far as the claim of petitioner No.1 was concerned, the same was rejected on the ground that she is a Government servant. In pursuance of the orders passed by the Civil Court, the respondent has deposited a sum of Rs.1,20,000/- before the Civil Court. The grievance of petitioner No.1 in the present petition is that the aforementioned amount be released to her being the mother and guardian of petitioner No.2. Learned counsel for the respondent has raised serious objection to this request being made by petitioner No.1. The learned counsel submits that although the amount stands deposited with the Civil Court, but the same should be allowed to be withdrawn only by his daughter, petitioner No.2 and he has no objection if the amount lying deposited in the Civil Court is credited to the account of petitioner No.2, who alone should be entitled to withdraw the same for her personal use. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that he has no objection to the aforementioned arrangement. Learned counsel undertakes on behalf of petitioner No.1 that no amount lying pending in the account of petitioner No.2 would be utilized in any manner by petitioner No.1. In view of the aforementioned factual position, this petition is disposed of with a direction that the amount of Rs.1,20,000/- which is lying in the Civil Court shall be credited to the account of petitioner No.2, who is daughter of the respondent. Petitioner No.2 shall be entitled to utilize the amount in any manner she feels. It is being made clear that petitioner No.1 shall not utilize the amount deposited in the account of petitioner No.2 in any manner, nor withdraw the same being her guardian. The respondent shall continue to deposit Rs.8,000/- per month as maintenance in future also. Petitioner No.2 would be entitled to withdraw the same, which is deposited by the respondent before the Civil Court. No order as to costs. _______________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J. 15.12.2010 kpr
