KRISHNAN, J. ........................................... R.P.(F.C).No.57 OF 2005 ............................................. Dated this the 25th day of February, 2010. O R D E R This revision is filed against the order of the Family Court, Ernakulam in M.C.No.94/2003. A five year old young son of the revision petitioner has to knock at the doors of justice for maintenance for his survival. It is really unfortunate. The child was studying in UKG at the time of filing of the petition. The revision petitioner raised all possible contentions including payment of donation for the school, payment of fees etc. It has also come out in evidence that the mother is having only a monthly income of Rs.2,000/= and she may not be able to maintain the child with that income. The husband was employed in Delhi and it is contended that he has lost his job. But it has to be remembered that he is a young able man who can offer to do any work. Under Section 125 of the Cr.P.C it has to be remembered that a person who is well built is bound to look after his wife and children for the reason that it is with that averred object he had married and he has satisfy the same till the end of his life which is expected under certain : 2 : R.P.(F.C).No.57 OF 2005 conditions. Now a days, even sending a child to Pre KG Section the cost of education is high. The mode of life has changed and the burden cast on the children is high, The cost of books has escalated and even the mode of conveyance consumes large amount. Besides this, a growing child has to be properly fed and he has to be projected in a good fashion and for all these things, amount is required. The parents can fight but the child has to grow. 2. Taking into consideration all these facts, the family court has awarded a very reasonable maintenance amount of Rs.1,000/= per month which by any stretch of imagination cannot be said to be on the higher side. Therefore the revisions lacks merit and the same is dismissed. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE cl : 3 : R.P.(F.C).No.57 OF 2005
