IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD TUESDAY, THE TWENTY EIGHTH DAY OF DECEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1541 OF 2010 Between: A.M.K. Mohan …Petitioner And 1. Smt. A. Aruna 2. Baby Mahalaxmi 3. State of Andhra Pradesh Rep. by Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad. … Respondents This Court made the following: HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1541 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is husband of the first respondent and father of the minor second respondent. There is no dispute about relationship between the parties. There is also no dispute about both the parties living separately since prior to filing of the maintenance case in the lower Court. The Judge, Family Court, Ranga Reddy District, by the impugned order, dated 12.08.2010, in Crl.M.P.No.55 of 2009 in M.C.No.24 of 2009, awarded interim maintenance of Rs.5,000/- to the wife and Rs.2,000/- to the minor child per month. 2. The petitioner’s counsel contends that there are no grounds for the wife to live separately from him and claim maintenance. It is a matter to be enquired by the lower Court after both the parties have let their evidence in the main case. Admittedly, the petitioner is working as Cashier in State Bank of Hyderabad. Observation of the lower Court that the petitioner is certainly getting salary of more than Rs.40,000/-, is correct. It is contended that the petitioner has got heart problem. Medical expenditure incurred by the petitioner would be mostly reimbursed by his employer namely, State Bank of Hyderabad. Having regard to all the circumstances of the case, the amount of interim maintenance granted by the lower Court is not in any way unjust or unreasonable. I do not see any infirmity in the order passed by the lower Court. 3. In the result, the Criminal Revision Petition is dismissed. However, four (4) weeks time is granted to the revision petitioner to deposit the entire arrears of interim maintenance. ______________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J December 28, 2010 KL HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1541 OF 2010 December 28, 2010 KL
