SRI.M.K.CHANDRA MOHANDAS THIS REV.PETITION(FAMILY COURT) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 02/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: M.N.KRISHNAN,J. ====================== R.P.(F.C) No.345 OF 2007 ====================== Dated this the 2nd day of March 2010. JUDGMENT This revision is preferred against the order of maintenance passed by the Family Court, Malappuram. The Family Court ordered a maintenance of Rs.2,000/-to the wife and Rs.1,000/- to the child and aggrieved by the same the husband has come up in revision. The main question argued before me is regarding the quantum of maintenance. The revision petitioner is a Higher Secondary School teacher employed in a reputed institution Presentation English Medium Higher Secondary School. It has also come out in evidence that he is a good lyricist. The Court also had considered about the various factors regarding the same. The wife though is attempted to be projected as a tailor by profession, no evidence is adduced to that effect. Whereas, admittedly, the husband is a Plus Two School Teacher in a reputed school coupled with the gift of writing lyrics. Taking into consideration those R.P.(F.C) No.345 OF 2007 2 aspects, the court granted maintenance. There is no discussion anywhere in the order regarding the probable income of the husband. 2. After hearing both sides, I feel that a slight modification can be done by reducing the maintenance ordered to the wife to Rs.1,800/- and retaining the order of Rs.1000/- ordered as maintenance to the child. In the result, the revision petition is disposed of by modifying the order of maintenance to the wife from Rs. 2,000/- to Rs.1,800/- and retaining the maintenance to the child at Rs. 1,000/- which shall be payable from the date of M.C and the mother is entitled to collect the amount on behalf of the child. Amounts if any paid or deposited shall be given credit to. M.N.KRISHNAN,JUDGE. mns
