Crl. Misc. No.M-9518 of 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.M-9518 of 2009. Decided on: October 06, 2010. Sarjinder Singh .. Petitioner VERSUS Simratjit .. Respondent * * * CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI * * * PRESENT Mr.S.C.Aggarwal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Gurmeet Singh, Advocate, for the respondent M.M.S. BEDI, J (ORAL). The respondent had been awarded maintenance @ Rs.1200/- per month in proceeding under Section 125 Cr.P.C. The said order was modified in revision petition preferred by the wife- respondent. The revisional Court vide order dated 20.03.2009, has awarded maintenance of Rs.5,000/- per month w.e.f., the date of application. The revisional Court had taken into consideration the . . . 1 Crl. Misc. No.M-9518 of 2009 salary Certificate EX.CW3/B indicating that the petitioner is earning sum of Rs.15,202/- per month. After deducting the loan amount on account of Car loan, pension loan and other loans, the salary in hand was considered to be Rs.7179/- in November 2006. I have taken into consideration the salary of the petitioner in the year 2006 and have taken judicial notice of the enhancement of D.A., and grant of increments to the petitioner. Taking into consideration the carry home salary and the enhanced D.A., sum of Rs.5,000/- per month awarded to the respondent-wife does not seem to be excessive. In the exercise of inherent jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C., I do not deem it appropriate to interfere in the well reasoned order passed by the revisional Court except for modifying the said order to the effect that enhanced maintenance @ Rs.5,000/- per month would be payable from the date of the order passed by the revisional Court i.e., 20.03.2009 and not from the date of the application under Section 125 Cr.P.C., before the Magistrate. The respondent will be entitled to maintenance @ Rs.1200/- per month from the date of application till 20.03.2009. With the above modification, this petition is disposed of as partly allowed and partly dismissed. (M.M.S.BEDI) JUDGE October 06, 2010. rka . . . 2
