THE HON’BLE SMT JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI Civil Revision Petition No. 5670 of 2009 ORDER: This civil revision petition is directed against the order dated 12th day of October 2009 made in I.A. No. 72 of 2009 in O.P. No. 814 of 2008 on the file of the Family Court, Hyderabad. Revision petitioner is the respondent-husband and the respondents are the petitioners in the above I.A. The respondents herein filed the above I.A. No. 72 of 2009 under Section 24 of Hindu Marriage Act against the revision petitioner-husband seeking to grant interim maintenance in a sum ofRs.10,000/- p.m., to petitioner No.1 and a sum of Rs.5,000/- p.m., to the petitioner No.2 a minor son from the date of the petition on the ground that she being a junior advocate is unable to maintain herself and her minor son and that she has no other source of income. The said petition was resisted by the husband by filing a counter stating that his wife is financially well of and got sufficient funds to meet the expenses of the child also and she is not allowing him to meet their minor son and also not allowed the child even to speak with him and that as he filed petition for divorce, she filed the petition for grant of maintenance only to harass him. The court below after considering the material on record allowed the petition and granted a sum of Rs.2,500/- to the first petitioner and a sum of Rs.1,000/- to the second petitioner towards their monthly interim maintenance from the date of the petition i.e., 16-12-2008. Aggrieved against the same, the present civil revision petition has been filed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the order under revision which reveals that the revision petitioner except stating that his wife is financially sound, failed to produce any proof in support of his case. Further, as rightly opined by the trial court, it is the duty of the revision petitioner, being the husband of the first respondent-wife and father of the second respondent herein, to maintain them but he is not maintaining the respondents herein from 2003 onwards. Taking into consideration the present cost of living, granting of Rs.2500/-p.m., to wife and Rs.1000/- per month to the minor son is a reasonable one. Under the above circumstances and granting of interim maintenance is a discretionary relief exercised by the court below, I do not find any reason to interfere with the same. Accordingly, this civil revision petition is dismissed at the stage of dismissed. No costs. ___________________________ dt.03-12-2009 JUSTICE T MEENA KUMARI kvrk THE HON’BLE SMT.JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI Civil Revision Petition No. 5670 of 2009 03-12-2009
