IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH: HYDERABAD FIRDAY, THE SIXTEENTH DAY OF JULY TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT: HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1282 OF 2010 BETWEEN: Kota Sundara Ramaiah S/o. K. Kutumba Rao …. Petitioner AND Smt. Kota Vanaja W/o. Sundara Ramaiah and others …. Respondents HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1282 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioner, who is quondam husband of the first respondent and father of the second respondent seeks to file this revision petition against order dated 15-06-2010 passed by the Judge, Family Court, Secunderabad in M.P. Nos.198 of 2009 and 237 of 2009 in M.C. No. 1 of 2009. 2. There is no dispute about relationship between the parties. Marriage of the petitioner with the first respondent was dissolved in U.S. Court. The first respondent did not go for another marriage. The respondents 1 and 2 filed maintenance case in the lower Court claiming maintenance of Rs.50,000/- per month to each of them. Since the petitioner remained ex parte in the lower Court, the lower Court is stated to have passed ex parte order of maintenance as claimed by respondents 1 and 2. Now, the petitioner filed the present petitions in the lower Court for setting aside the ex parte order. By the impugned order, the lower Court allowed the petition “subject to deposit of 1/4th of the arrears amount of maintenance in the Court” and subject to filing of counter in main M.C. 1 of 2009. It is contended by the petitioner’s counsel that 1/4th of arrears of maintenance comes to nearly Rs.7,50,000/-. The petitioner is working as Software Engineer in the United States of America. 3. Having regard to status of the parties, the lower Court fixed the previous maintenance amount. It cannot be said that condition regarding deposit of 1/4th of arrears of maintenance is in any way onerous or excessive. 4. Hence, the revision petition is dismissed. However, two months time is granted to the petitioner for deposit of arrears of maintenance amount as per order of the lower Court. No further extension of time will be granted. __________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J July 16, 2010 KTL
