Petitioner V/s. Smt. Daruri Dhatrija @ Ushasri & 2-Ors. … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner : Sri P. Ravi Shanker Counsel for the Respondents: Addl.Public Prosecutor The Court made the following : (Order follows 2nd page) THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRL.RC.No. 1106 OF 2010 O R D E R : Grievance of the petitioner in this revision petition is that the lower court i.e., Judge, Family Court, Ranga Reddy district on the first day of hearing itself and without serving copies of the papers and in spite of asking time for counter, had passed order of interim maintenance @ Rs.5000/- each to the respondents 1 and 2, who are stated to be wife and daughter. 2. The contention of the petitioner’s counsel is that no copies were served, is not factually correct. The impugned order dated 24-5-2010 in MC.No.242 of 2009 of the Family Court, Ranga Reddy district reads that copies were served. Simply because the first respondent therein, who is the petitioner herein prayed time for counter, the lower court is not prevented by law from passing order of interim maintenance. The lower court is empowered to pass such order of interim maintenance even without notice to the respondent therein. There is no illegality or irregularity or impropriety in the order passed by the lower court. It is stated that the petitioner has already filed counter in the lower court. In those circumstances, the lower court is directed to dispose of the issue relating to interim maintenance after hearing both the parties with reference to their respective contentions and pleadings, as expeditiously as possible and within two months from the date of receipt of this order by the lower court. 3. Subject to the above observations, the revision petition is dismissed. ____________________________________ Justice Samudrala Govindarajulu.. 15-06-2010.
