1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. CRI. REVISION APPLICATION NO. 161 OF 2008 (PRABHAKAR ARJUN MUNDHE VS. SAU. MAYA PRABHAKAR MUNDHE.) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's orders ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Ms. U.M.Nandeshwar, Advocate for applicant. Shri B.N.Jaipurkar, Advocate for Non-applicant. CORAM : R.C.CHAVAN, J. DATED : JANUARY 20, 2009. 1. By this application the applicant takes exception to the order passed by learned Judge, Family Court, Nagpur awarding maintenance allowance @ Rs.1,000/- per month to the respondent on the ground that the applicant was getting only Rs.30/- to Rs.40/- per day and therefore, is unable to pay Rs.One Thousand per month for the maintenance of his wife. The learned counsel for the applicant states that the Non- applicant/ wife had admitted that when she was working as an agricultural labour she was getting Rs.25/- per day. She, therefore, submitted that it can very well be imagined that the wages of a male labour would not be much above the sum of Rs.25/-, which the wife was making. Therefore, she states that 2 the maintenance granted @ Rs.1,000/- per month is excessive, since the applicant is residing in interior cannot get Rs.One Hundred per day as wages. 2. Having got a wife, it is applicant's responsibility to maintain her. Rs.One Thousand per month is barely adequate to keep body and soul together and therefore, it is necessary for the applicant to work hard and earn Rs.One Thousand more for his wife. The order passed by the learned Judge of the Family Court does not call for any interference. The application is, therefore, rejected. JUDGE RR.
