HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B. SESHASAYANA REDDY Crl.R.C.No. 1517 of 2009 O R D E R: This Revision is directed against the order, dated 14.07.2009 passed in Crl.M.P.No.3096 of 2007 in M.C. No. 5 of 2005 on the file of the Additional Judicial Magistrate of I Class, Karimnagar. The petitioner is the husband of the 2nd respondent herein. M.C.No. 5 of 2005 has been filed by the wife seeking maintenance. The said M.C. came to be allowed on 10.08.2005, granting maintenance at the rate of Rs.750/- per month. She filed Criminal M.P. No. 3096 of 2007 seeking enhancement of the maintenance from Rs.750/- to Rs.4,000/-. The husband entered appearance and resisted the Application. The husband pleaded that he spent Rs.1,20,000/- for bypass surgery of his father. The 2nd respondent-wife got herself examined as P.W.1, whereas the petitioner-husband got himself examined as R.W.1. The learned Magistrate, on considering the material brought on record and on hearing the counsel appearing for the petitioner therein, proceeded to enhance the maintenance from Rs.750/- to Rs.1250/- by order dated 14.07.2009. The said order is assailed in this Revision. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and perused the order impugned in the Revision. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the amount spent by the petitioner-husband towards medical expenses of his father has not been taken into consideration and, therefore, the order impugned in the Revision is liable to be set aside. Indisputably, as on the date of passing the order in M.C.No. 5 of 2005, the petitioner was under suspension. Keeping in view the fact of his being under suspension, maintenance at the rate of Rs.750/- came to be fixed in M.C.No. 5 of 2005. Subsequently, the suspension has been revoked and the petitioner is working. The learned Magistrate, taking into consideration the lapse of time from the date of passing of the original order and also increase in the earnings of the husband, proceeded to enhance the maintenance granted to the wife from Rs.750/- to Rs.1,250/-. Valid reasons have been assigned by the learned Magistrate for enhancing the amount. I do not see any error in the order passed by the learned Magistrate warranting interference of this Court in exercise of powers under Sections 397 and 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Criminal Revision Case is accordingly dismissed at the stage of admission. ------------------------------------ (B. SESHASAYANA REDDY, J) 15th September 2009 ksld
