IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.1049 of 2007 SUSHILA DEVI @ DHARMSHILA DEVI Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 5 1.5.2009 Heard the learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner is aggrieved by order dated 29th of March,2007, in Matrimonial Case No.10(M)/2006,whereby she has been allowed paltry maintenance of Rs.800/- per month. The case of the petitioner is that her husband, namely, Muneshwar Ram, who is Opposite Party No.2 here, is in service of Bihar State Electricity in Grade IV. It has been submitted before the learned court below that he gets a salary of Rs.14,000/- per month. Learned counsel states that she is staying in the house, which has been purchased by her father in her name. However, P.W.1 witness on behalf of O.P. Muneshwar Ram states that latter receives only Rs.12,000/- as his salary. The O.P.No.2 also admits that he earns Rs.12,000/- per month. He states that, in fact, he has purchased the house in question in the name of petitioner. It appears that even as per the statement of O.P.No.2 he is getting salary of Rs.12,000/- per month. In these circumstances, the maintenance allowed by the family court is too meagre. As such the maintenance amount is enhanced from Rs.800/- to Rs.2,200/- per month, with effect from 16.8.07. Thus, this application is allowed to the extent 2 mentioned above w.e.f. 16.8.2007, the date of filing of this revision application in this Court. However, the opposite party would pay a sum of Rs.800/- per month as ordered by Principal Judge, till 15.8.2007. The arrears must be paid in 15 equal monthly instalments. The current amount at rate of Rs.2,200/- must be paid by 10th of the subsequent month. Anilkrsinha (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
