THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1035 of 2009 ORDER: This revision is directed against the order, dated 06.06.2009 passed in Crl.MP.No.407 of 2007 in M.C.No.202 of 1997 on the file of the Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge for Trial of Jubilee Hills Car Bomb Blast Cases-cum-Additional Family Court-cum-XXIII Additional Chief Judge, Hyderabad, whereby and whereunder the learned Judge of the Family Court enhanced the monthly maintenance to respondent Nos.1 to 3 @ Rs.1,500/-, Rs.1,000/- and Rs.1,200/- respectively. Notice before admission came to be ordered on 30.06.2009. Respondents 1 to 3 entered appearance. With the consent of the counsel appearing for the parties, the revision is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage. The relationship between the parties is not in dispute. Respondents 1 to 3 are the wife and children of the petitioner. The wife and children filed M.C.No.202 of 1997 seeking maintenance. The application came to be allowed on 29.02.2000 granting monthly maintenance to the wife @ Rs.375/- and to the children @ Rs.125/- each. Subsequently, they filed Crl.MP.No.1180 of 2003 seeking enhancement of the maintenance. The said application came to be allowed on 06.08.2004 enhancing the maintenance to the children from Rs.125/- to Rs.300/- each. Thereafter, they filed another Crl.MP.No.407 of 2007 seeking further enhancement. The petitioner husband filed counter resisting the application. The wife got herself examined as P.W.1 and marked two documents as Exs.P.1 and P.2. The husband got himself examined as R.W.1 and marked sale deed as Ex.R.1. The learned Judge of the Family Court on considering the material brought on record and on hearing the learned counsel appearing for the parties, proceeded to allow the application in part enhancing the maintenance to the wife from Rs.375/- to Rs.1,500/- and to the two children from Rs.300/- each to Rs.1,000/- and Rs.1,200/- per month respectively. Total enhanced maintenance amount to the wife and children comes to Rs.3,700/-. The said order is assailed in this revision. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that there is no rationale in enhancing the maintenance amount from Rs.375/- to Rs.1,500/- to the wife and Rs.300/- to Rs.1,200/- and Rs.1,000/- to the two children respectively. A further submission has been made that the wife has not placed any evidence on record to show that the income of the husband has been increased enormously from 2003 to 2007. Per contra, the learned counsel appearing for respondents 1 to 3 submits that the quantum of amount enhanced by the learned Judge of the Family Court is reasonable and it does not warrant interference. The maintenance amount granted to the wife in M.C.No.202 of 2007 by order, dated 29.02.2000 was Rs.375/- whereas maintenance granted to the children was Rs.125/- each. The maintenance amount came to be enhanced from Rs.125/- to Rs.300/- each as per orders in Crl.M.P.No.1180 of 2003. Subsequently, maintenance came to be enhanced to the wife at Rs.1,500/- whereas the children at Rs.1,200/- and Rs.1,000/- respectively. Though it is asserted by the wife that the husband is a propertied man and getting income of Rs.20,000/- per month, no substantial evidence has been placed on record, so also, the husband has not placed any evidence to show that his monthly income is only Rs.1,500/- as private employee. There is no proof that the income of the husband has been increased in five-fold from 2004 to 2007. Considering the material placed on record, I am of the view that the maintenance amount enhanced by the learned Judge of the Family Court is certainly on high side. Therefore, enhancement of maintenance amount is reduced to the wife from Rs.1,500/- to Rs.1,000/- and to the two children from Rs.1,200/- and Rs.1,000/- to Rs.750/- respectively. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. ____________________________ B.SESHASAYANA REDDY, J 9th OCTOBER, 2009. kvni
