THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.480 of 2004 JUDGMENT: When the first respondent herein-wife approached the Family Court, Visakhapatnam and filed M.C.No.99 of 1995, initially, the said Court was pleased to grant maintenance at the rate of Rs.425/- per month by an order, dated 30.03.1996 and subsequently, as the cost of living has gone up, in the year 2003, she moved M.P.No.231 of 2003 for enhancement of the said maintenance from Rs.425/- to Rs.3,000/- per month. The Family Court having considered the over all circumstances, enhanced the same from Rs.425/- to Rs.1,500/- per month, by its order, dated 09.12.2003. The same is questioned by the husband by filing the present Revision. Heard learned counsel appearing for both the parties. From a perusal of the impugned order, this Court is of the view that the Court below is justified in enhancing the maintenance amount. The maintenance amount of Rs.425/- per month was awarded to the first respondent herein-wife by the Court below in the year 1996 and with such a meager amount no one can survive. There is evidence on record to establish that the petitioner is getting a salary of more than Rs.10,000/- as he is working as an employee in Naval Dockyard, Visakhapatnam. In those circumstances, I see no error in the impugned order, warranting interference by this Court. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. ___________________________________ JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA 03rd February 2011 DR
