THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION NO.2070 OF 2007 ORDER: 1 This petition is directed against the orders passed by the learned Judicial Magistrate of I Class, Ponnur in M.C.No.14 of 2003 as confirmed by the learned IX Additional District & Sessions Judge, Guntur in Crl.R.P.No.66 of 2006 whereby the petitioner was directed to pay Rs.800/- to the first respondent and Rs.300/- to the second respondent towards their monthly maintenance. 2 The only ground urged by the learned counsel for the petitioner in this petition is that he filed HMOP No.52 of 2003 seeking divorce under Section 13 (1) (1a) of Hindu Marriage Act and the learned Additional Senior Civil Judge at Tenali having considered the entire evidence passed a decree of divorce on 24.10.2005. 3 May be it is true that the marriage was dissolved, but the wife approached this court and filed CMA No.16 of 2006 and the said appeal is pending. Though it is not stated, this court also must have suspended the said decree of divorce passed by the learned Senior Civil Judge. Further, the amount of maintenance for both the respondents put together is only Rs.1100/-, which in these hard days, is not too much. 4 Hence I see no merits in this petition and accordingly the same is dismissed. -------------- 20.04.2010 Kvsn
