THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.126 of 2004 JUDGMENT: The respondents herein filed M.C.No.26 of 1994 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Yellandu, against the petitioner herein under Section 125 Cr.P.C. claiming maintenance at the rate of Rs.300/- to the first respondent and Rs.150/- each to respondents 2 to 4, who are the wife and the children of the respondent herein respectively. The Court below after analysing the entire evidence on record, awarded the said maintenance. Subsequently, the petitioners herein filed a petition- Crl.M.P.No.2517 of 2002 in the said M.C., under Section 127 Cr.P.C. seeking to enhance the said maintenance and the same was allowed by the Court below by an order, dated 27.10.2003, enhancing the said maintenance from Rs.300/- per month to Rs.500/- per month to the first respondent and also enhanced the maintenance amount from Rs.150/- per month to Rs.500/- per month to each of respondents 1 and 2. The said order, dated 27.10.2003 is questioned in this Criminal Revision Case. This Court while admitting this Criminal Revision Case on 03.02.2004, passed the following order: - “Interim suspension subject to condition that the petitioner pays maintenance amount at the rate of Rs.300/- per month to each o the respondents i.e., to his wife and three children from October, 2003 to February, 2004, by the end of February 2004 and also deposit the maintenance at the said rate from March 2004 onwards by 5th of every succeeding month.” Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Having heard the submissions of the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and on perusal of the material available on record, this Court is of the view that the said enhancement of the maintenance amount made by the Court below cannot be said to be excessive. In these hard days even the said amount is not sufficient to meet the bare necessities of life. In those circumstances, this Court is of the view that the impugned order does not warrant any interference by this Court. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. ___________________________________ JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA 17th February 2011 DR
