IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD MONDAY, THE SIXTEENTH DAY OF AUGUST TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1461 OF 2010 Between: Sri B. Lakshmi Narayana Reddy … PETITIONER And 1. Smt. Laxmi Jayaprada Devi 2. The State of A.P. … RESPONDENTS This Court made the following: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1461 OF 2010 ORDER: 1. This revision petition is sought to be filed by the husband questioning order dated 19.03.2010, passed by the Judge, Family Court, Ranga Reddy District, in Crl.M.P.No.296 of 2008 in M.C.No.33 of 2005, enhancing maintenance amount payable to the first respondent/wife from Rs.2,000/- per month to Rs.3,000/- per month. The lower Court previously granted maintenance to the wife at the rate of Rs.2,000/- per month by order dated 28.09.2007. The lower Court presently enhanced the maintenance from Rs.2,000/- to Rs.3,000/- per month on the ground of hike in prices. 2. It is contended by the petitioner’s counsel that previously, the petitioner was working as Engineer in Life Insurance Corporation and that now, he took retirement of the job and he is unemployed. The petitioner filed counter in the lower Court contending that there is no change in his capacity between the date of passing earlier order and date of filing the present petition. He did not plead that he took retirement from his job. The only ground on which order of the lower Court is passed, is inflation in every walk of life. The enhancement of maintenance granted by the lower Court is also not abnormal. In the circumstances, I find no infirmity in the order passed by the lower Court. 3. Hence, the criminal revision petition is dismissed. ______________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J August 16, 2010 KL HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1461 OF 2010 August 16, 2010 KL
