HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HON'BLE MR JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY F.C.A. NO. 250 OF 2010 Between: Kumari Sajida Begum D/o Mohd. Saber ………….PETITIONER AND Mohd. Saber S/o Mohd Mahmood, Age 49 years Occupation Police Constable ………….RESPONDENT JUDGMENT : (Per Hon'ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) This Appeal is directed against the order-dated 15.09.2010 passed in O.P.No. 474 of 2009 on the file of the Judge, Family Court, Hyderabad. O.P. No. 474 of 2009 was filed under Section 7 of Family Courts Act by the daughter of the appellant herein, seeking marriage expenses of Rs. 2,00,000/- For the sake of convenience appellant herein is mentioned as father and the respondent herein is mentioned as daughter. Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner in OP is the natural daughter of appellant herein apart from Zaheda Begum whose marriage was performed in the year 1982 at Patancheruvu, Hyderabad. Earlier, Suit in O.P. No. 73 of 2001 was filed by the daughter for maintenance was settled before the Lok Adalath enhancing the maintenance granted from Rs. 1200 to 1800 per month. The petitioner viz., Kumari Sajida Begum, now became major and her mother is searching for a match and for that she personally went to her father and asked him to bear her marriage expenses, the father asked her to get out of his house. Aggrieved by the same, she preferred O.P. 474 of 2009 seeking marriage expenses. The Family Court allowed the OP directing the father to deposit a sum of Rs. 2,00,000/- in the name of her daughter in any Nationalised Bank by opening a separate account or to deposit the same in the court in O.P. account, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. Aggrieved by the same, the present FCA is filed by the father. We have perused the Judgment of the Court below. There is no dispute that the appellant herein is the natural father of respondent herein; therefore, he is under obligation to perform her marriage. The appellant is working as Head Constable and the Court below rightly observed that he is admittedly drawing more than Rs. 23,000/- per month but he filed his counter with false averments that he is getting only Rs. 3,169/- per month after deductions, and rightly directed the appellant to deposit a sum of Rs. 2,00,000/- in the name of his daughter or in Court in OP account, within one month. In view of the above, we see no infirmity or illegally in the order passed by the Court below and the reasons given by it are cogent and convincing. Accordingly, the FCA is dismissed. However, time granted by the Court below to deposit the amount of Rs. 2,00,000/- is extended by four more months from today. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED,J _______________________ P. SWAROOP REDDY,J DATE: 25.10.2010 KA ...
