Criminal Application No.252 of 2003 filed by the respondent-wife came to be dismissed by the learned Judicial Magistrate, First Class at Nashik as per his judgment and order dated 14/3/2006.

The Revision Court has been pleased to grant maintenance of Rs.500/- per month 2 only to the wife. The said order is under challenge in this petition. . The marriage between the parties was not disputed and what was in dispute was the paternity of the children by the petitioner-husband. The learned Ad-hoc Addl. Sessions Judge considered the income of the husband and estimated the same at Rs.3000/- per month. He has also examined the requirements of the respondent-wife and granted an amount of Rs.500/- per month. No interference is called for in the impugned order dated 26/2/2007 and hence the petition is rejected summarily. . This order will not come in the way of the parties to negotiate for an amicable settlement either for obtaining a divorce or for cohabitation. (B.H.MARL
