No.155 of 2004 ------------------------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of June, 2008 ORDER The petitioner challenges an order passed under Section 125 Cr.P.C to pay maintenance to his children, ie. claimants 2 and 3 @ Rs.750/- per mensem. 2. Paternity is admitted. The claimants/children are staying with the 1st claimant/wife. The petitioner is employed abroad. According to his power of attorney-RW1, he gets only an income of Rs.3,000/- per mensem. It is idle to expect a reasonably prudent person to swallow that version. Be that as it may, even reckoning the petitioner just as an able bodied person, the quantum of maintenance awarded cannot be faulted. At any rate, I am not satisfied it is necessary to invoke the revisional jurisdiction of superintendence and correction at the instance of the petitioner. I take note of the submission that the claimants have not challenged the order. In the absence of challenge from them, I need not advert to that aspect - of inadequacy of quantum in this order. 3. This R.P.F.C is, in these circumstances, dismissed. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) rtr/- 2
