R.P.(F.C).No.108 OF 2008 ............................................. Dated this the 17th day of February, 2010. O R D E R This revision is preferred against the order of maintenance passed by the Family Court, Palakkad in M.C.No.703/2006. The revision petitioner had married the respondent and their matrimonial life did last only for a period of two months and 10 days. The revision petitioner had earlier married and has got a child in that marriage. He was formerly working in Gulf country also. According to the husband, the first wife is unwell and the child is mentally retarded and that prompted him to marry the respondent. According to him, she did not come to his house. The wife would say that she had been abandoned. 2. The next question is about the quantum. The wife is having some source of income. The wife has admitted before the court that at present the husband is not having any job. He is a gulf returnee. So there is no data regarding the property available, but according to the wife, the husband is having a house and 30 cents of land as well. He : 2 : R.P.(F.C).No.108 OF 2008 is not a disabled person. 3. Therefore taking into consideration the entire materials, I am inclined to reduce the maintenance amount by Rs.100/= making it Rs.900/=. 4. In the result, the revision petition is disposed of modifying the award of maintenance from Rs.1,000/= to Rs.900/= payable from the date of the petition. The amount deposited shall be given to the wife. Disposed of accordingly. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE cl : 3 : R.P.(F.C).No.108 OF 2008
