IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE TWELFTH DAY OF NOVEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Civil Revision Petition No : 2931 of 2008 Between: V.Hari Krishna ..... PETITIONER AND Smt.K.Shruthi and another .....RESPONDENTS Order: This civil revision petition is directed against the order, dated 21.04.2008, passed by the learned I Additional Senior Civil Judge, Ranga Reddy District at L.B.Nagar, in I.A.No.3804 of 2007 in O.P.No.36 of 2007. The petitioner-husband filed O.P.No.36 of 2007 on the file of the learned I Additional Senior Civil Judge, Ranga Reddy District at L.B.Nagar seeking divorce on the ground of mental cruelty. The respondent-wife filed her counter contesting the OP. Pending the OP, the respondents – wife and minor child; filed I.A.No.3804 of 2007 under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 seeking interim maintenance of Rs.10,000/- per month to each of them and also a sum of Rs.10,000/- towards legal expenses, stating that the petitioner is earning a sum of Rs.40,000/- per month and also having movable and immovable properties. The petitioner-husband filed a counter denying the allegations and contending that he is an unemployee and has no means to pay the amount as sought. The trial Court, after considering the rival contentions, through the impugned order, dated 21.04.2008, allowed the application granting an amount of Rs.10,000/- towards interim maintenance to both the respondents herein and Rs.5,000/- towards legal expenses. Aggrieved by the same, the present civil revision petition is filed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. In spite of service of notice, none appears for the respondents. Through the impugned order, the trial Court has granted interim maintenance to the respondents – wife and minor child; pendente lite. As the main O.P., seeking divorce is pending consideration, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the civil revision petition with the following direction: The learned I Additional Senior Civil Judge, Ranga Reddy District at L.B.Nagar shall make an endeavour to dispose of O.P.No.36 of 2007 pending on his file, expeditiously, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the civil revision petition stands disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date:12.11.2009 VGB
