THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO :3610 of 2009 ORDER: The present revision petition is filed by the petitioner against the order passed in I.A.No:297 of 2009 in O.P.No:162 of 2008 on 24.6.2009 by the learned Additional Family Court, Visakhapatnam. The petitioner is the husband and the 1st respondent is the wife and the 2nd respondent is the minor son. The status of the parties will hereinafter be referred to as arrayed before the Court below. The wife and minor son have filed O.P.162 of 2008 seeking maintenance. They have also filed I.A.297 of 2009 under section 24 of Hindu Marriages Act seeking to grant interim maintenance at the rate of Rs.4,000/- to the wife and Rs.2,000/- to the minor son. The Court below having observed that there is no dispute between the parties as to their relationship and in view of the escalation of the prices and high rise of the prices in the market, it is just and proper to grant Rs.2,000/- to the wife and Rs.500/- to the minor son, allowed the petition to that effect directing the husband to pay the said maintenance from the date of filing of the petition. Having aggrieved by the same, the present revision is preferred by the husband. Heard the learned counsel and perused the entire material available on record. Before going into the merits of the case, it is pertinent to note that the relationship of the parties is not in dispute as observed by the Court below. If that being the case, it is the bounden duty of the petitioner, being the husband to pay the maintenance to the wife and minor son. It is the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner husband that the petitioner is a junior lawyer and he has to look after his parents and therefore, the maintenance granted by the Court below is excessive. But, in view of the standard of living of the parties and in view of the escalation of the prices in the present market, I feel that the maintenance granted by the Court below, cannot be said to be excessive one. Hence, this revision petition is devoid of merits and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, this revision petition is dismissed. No costs. ___________________________ Justice Ghulam Mohammed Dated: 13.8.2009 Gurc. THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO:3610 OF 2009 13.08.2009
