HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE NO.742 OF 2010 DATE:28.07.2010 Between: Dr. M. Nagi Reddy …… Petitioner. And: Dr. Y.Yeshodha and 3 others …..Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE NO.742 OF 2010 ORDER: 1. The petitioner who is husband of the 1st respondent and father of the respondents 2 and 3 is questioning order dated 12.03.2010 passed by the Judge, Additional Family Court, Hyderabad in M.P.No.117 of 2010 in M.C.No.287 of 2009 granting interim maintenance of Rs.10,000/- per month to the wife and at the rate of Rs.3,000/- per month to each of the respondents 2 and 3. In so far as payment of interim maintenance to the minor children/respondents 2 and 3 is concerned, the petitioner has no grievance. He has every objection to pay maintenance to the 1st respondent/wife. Admittedly both the parties are living separately. There is no dispute that the 1st respondent is a student of D.N.B (Radiology) at Princess Durru Shehvar Hospital, Hyderabad getting stipend of Rs.12,500/- per month. It is contended by the petitioner’s counsel that the 1st respondent apart from being a student, is working as resident doctor in the same hospital and is getting salary for the same. As the matter now stands, there is no proof to show that the 1st respondent is also working as a resident doctor in the same hospital and is getting any salary from that hospital. Stipend received by a student cannot be taken as income. It is a money paid to a student for incurring professional expenditure and to purchase study material etc. Admittedly the petitioner is a Lucrative Diabetologist. Previously he was in U.K. It is stated that now he left his lucrative practice at U.K and came down to India because of these cases. Even in India, Diabetologists have equally lucrative practice. So, I do not see any reason to interfere with the order passed by the lower court. 2. In the result, the criminal revision petition is dismissed. __________________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU,J. Date:28.07.2010. Gk.
