IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.603 of 2006 ASHOK SETH Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 4 7.8.2008 Heard learned counsel for both parties. This revision application has been filed against the order dated 23.5.2006 passed in Maintenance case no.28/97 thereby the learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Sasaram has granted maintenance of Rs.1000/- per month to opposite party no.2. The admitted fact is that Opposite Party no.2 is a legally wedded wife of the petitioner. The other admitted fact is that the petitioner has already entered into second marriage. The maintenance case was filed in the year 1997 with a prayer to allow maintenance of Rs.500/- per month. However, the maintenance case has been decided after lapse of about 10 years. At that relevant point of time there was no higher limit of maintenance. In the meantime the cost of living has gone up. In this view of the matter I am of the view that maintenance of Rs.1000/- per month allowed to the opposite party no.2 is not in violation of law. This revision application is accordingly dismissed at the stage of admission itself. The petitioner is directed to pay maintenance as directed by the court below. B.Jha (Ghanshyam Prasad)
