IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) FRIDAY, THE TWENTY FIFTH DAY OF MARCH TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.832 of 2011 Between: Salugu Bhaskara Rao ..... Petitioner AND Salugu Eswaramma .....Respondent Counsel for the petitioner: Sri N.G.K. Nair The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.832 of 2011 ORDER: This Civil Revision Petition arises out of order dated 31.12.2010 in I.A.No.2 of 2009 in M.O.P.No.22 of 2008 on the file of the learned Senior Civil Judge, Sompeta, Srikakulam District. The petitioner is the husband of the respondent. He has filed M.O.P.No.22 of 2008 in the lower Court seeking annulment of marriage. Pending the said O.P., the respondent filed I.A.No.2 of 2009 for interim maintenance @ Rs.2,000/- per month and costs of Rs.5,000/-. By the order under revision, the said I.A. has been allowed to the extent of interim maintenance. In the counter affidavit filed by the petitioner before the lower Court, he has pleaded that he is doing a private job as fitter in Bombay and that he is getting a monthly salary of Rs.5,000/-. Considering the pleadings of the parties and the material available on record, the Court below has granted Rs.1,500/- towards maintenance from the date of the petition. In my opinion, Rs.1,500/- in the present days is not an unreasonable sum for the petitioner to pay towards the maintenance of his wife. The plea of the petitioner that he is earning only Rs.5,000/- per month is not supported by filing any salary certificate. In the absence of such evidence, the petitioner’s plea cannot be accepted as bona fide. On a careful consideration of the case, I am of the opinion that the order of the Court below does not suffer from error of jurisdiction. Hence, I am not inclined to interfere with the said order. The Civil Revision Petition is accordingly dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the Civil Revision Petition, CRPMP No.1203 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is also dismissed. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 25.03.2011 ES
