Criminal Revision No.2266 of 2010 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Revision No.2266 of 2010 Date of decision:- 24.8.2010 Anand ...Petitioner Versus Urmila ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present:- None for the petitioner. RAM CHAND GUPTA J.(Oral) The present revision-petition has been filed against the order dated 13.5.2010 passed by Additional District Judge, Bhiwani vide which petitioner has been ordered to pay maintenance Rs.1200/- per month from the date of application. I have perused the order passed by learned Additional District Judge, Bhiwani. Relationship has not been disputed. It has been observed that respondent-wife is not able to maintain herself. Though, it has been pleaded that respondent is earning Rs.20,000/- per month from a transport company and agricultural work and however, the plea has been taken by the respondent that he is only a labourer. Hence, the income of respondent was taken by learned Additional Sessions Judge as Rs.3500/- per month by treating him as labourer. Thus, award of Rs.1200/- per month cannot be said to be on higher side as in these days of higher prices it is very difficult to make both ends meet. Criminal Revision No.2266 of 2010 -2- There is no merit in the present revision petition. However, as none has put in appearance on behalf of petitioner, the same is dismissed for non-prosecution.
