THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO.4383 OF 2009. DATED:18-02-2010. Between: K.Venu Madhav Singh … Petitioner and Smt.Rashmi Thakur …Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO.4383 OF 2009. ORDER: This revision under Article 227 of the Constitution of India is filed against the order, dated 18-08-2009, in I.A.No.1074 of 2009 in O.P.No.182 of 2009, on the file of the Judge, Family Court, Ranga Reddy District, at L.B.Nagar, Hyderabad, whereunder and whereby the petitioner herein was directed to pay interim maintenance of Rs.8,000/- per month to the respondent herein and Rs.5,000/- towards legal expenses. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner contended that without taking into account of the income of the petitioner herein, the trial Court arbitrarily fixed interim maintenance at Rs.8,000/- per month and hence, she prays to set aside the impugned order. 3. On the other hand, learned counsel appearing for the respondent contended that the petitioner is working as Software Engineer in United States of America and he is getting Rs.24,00,000/- per annum as per the income tax returns, that the trial Court rightly granted maintenance to the respondent herein and there are no grounds to set aside the same. 4. Though it is contended by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that the respondent herein is also working, at this stage, there is no material to show that she is working in order to sustain herself. Therefore, the finding of the trial Court that the petitioner is working as Software Engineer in USA itself shows that he is earning more than Rs.2,00,000/- per year. Considering the status of the parties, the trial Court awarded interim maintenance. Though there is no evidence with regard to actual earnings of the petitioner, at the same time, he is a Software Engineer working in USA. Therefore, it can be presumed that he must be earning not less than Rs.50,000/- per month. If that income is taken into consideration, one third can be reasonable granted to the respondent towards her maintenance. Considering the status of the parties, the trial Court rightly granted interim maintenance and the said order does not suffer from any infirmities so as to call for interference by this Court. 5. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed confirming the order, dated 18-08-2009, in I.A.No.1074 of 2009 in O.P.No.182 of 2009, on the file of the Judge, Family Court, Ranga Reddy District, at L.B.Nagar, Hyderabad. However, the trial Court is directed to dispose of the main O.P. as expeditiously as possible subject to old cases. No order as to costs. --------------------- K.C.BHANU, J DATED:18-02-2010 Hsd
