HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE Nos.721 of 2005 & 797 OF 2005 COMMON ORDER: Criminal Revision Case No.721 of 2005 is preferred by the petitioner-husband and Criminal Revision Case No.797 of 2005 is preferred by the petitioners 1 and 2-wife and son aggrieved over the order dated 11-4-2005 passed by the learned Judge, Family Court, Secunderabad in M.C. No.35 of 2004 whereby, he passed an order to pay a sum of Rs.2,000/- to the wife and Rs.750/- to the son towards their maintenance. Learned counsel for the petitioner in Crl.R.C.No.721 of 2005 submits that in view of the orders of this Court dated 21-10-2005, during the interregnum period, the petitioner has been paying Rs.2,500/- per month regularly and he further submits that he filed a petition for divorce which is also pending for adjudication before the competent court and also further submits that the respondent- wife left the company of the petitioner on her own accord and that he is not in a position to pay the same. Whereas the learned counsel for the petitioners in Crl.R.C.No.797 of 2005 submitted that the 2nd petitioner is suffering with ailment and in the present circumstances, a sum of Rs.2,750/- granted by the Court below at the rate of Rs.2,000/- to the wife and Rs.750/- to the son is very meager amount for their maintenance. After perusal of the entire record, since the Criminal Revision Cases are filed in the year 2005 after lapse of 5 years, this Court is of the view that a reasonable enhancement can be given to the petitioners in Crl.R.C.797 of 2005. Even though the Crl.R.C.No.721 of 2005 is also pending for a long time, till final disposal of his petition for divorce, the husband is liable to maintain his wife and children. In view of the same, both the Revision Cases are disposed of directing the petitioner in Crl.R.C.No.721 of 2005 i.e., the husband to pay a sum of Rs.2,500/- to the wife and Rs.2,500/- to the son, in total, a sum of Rs.5,000/- (Rupees five thousand only) every month towards maintenance from the date of the petition. The petitioner is also directed to pay the arrears if any to the wife and children within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above observations, both the Criminal Revision Cases are disposed of. _______________________ Justice RAJA ELANGO Dated 16-12-2010 Dvs HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE Nos.721 of 2005 & 797 OF 2005 Dated 16-12-2010
