1 REVN457.10.sxw JPP IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL JURISDICTION REVISION APPLICATION NO. 457 OF 2010 IN PETITION NO. E- 435 OF 2005 Mr. Vijay Bahadur Mewalal Bind. ... Applicant. V/s. Mrs. Ushadevi Vijay Bahadur Bind. ... Respondent. Mr. Anil Mishra for the Applicant. None for the Respondent. CORAM : R.Y. GANOO, J. DATED : 16th MARCH 2011. P.C. :- The Respondent herein had filed an application before the learned Judge of the Family Court for maintenance under Section 125 of Cr.P.C. being Petition No. E-435 of 2005. Said application was decided by the learned Judge of the Family Court by order dated 5th April 2010. The Respondent is granted maintenance to the tune of Rs.1,500/- per month from the date of the order. This order is challenged by the Petitioner. 2. I have perused the record and I have heard learned Counsel Mr. Mishra appearing on behalf of the Petitioner. He contended that the Petitioner has been able to secure divorce 2 REVN457.10.sxw against the Respondent under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act. He tried to contend that after the divorce, the Respondent is not entitled for maintenance. This submission of Mr. Mishra is required to be rejected. Looking to the provision of Section 125 of Cr.P.C. even a divorced wife is entitled for maintenance under Section 125 of Cr.P.C. 3. Question is whether the amount of maintenance granted is reasonable or not. The Petitioner has admitted that he is working as a Electrician. He claimed that he is getting about Rs.100/- per day. He claimed that he earns Rs.2,500/- per month. The learned Judge has dis-believed his stand as regards the quantum of maintenance and has arrived at a figure of maintenance to be paid at the rate of Rs.1,500/-. After having gone through the entire Judgment, I am inclined to note that the learned Judge had taken up practical attitude as regards income of the husband. 4. In my view, grant of maintenance at the rate of Rs. 1,500/- is reasonable as of today and it does not need any interference in the revisional jurisdiction of this Court. Consequently, the Revision Application will have to be dismissed at the stage of admission. Hence, following order is passed :- (i) The Revision Application is dismissed at the stage of admission with no order as to costs (R.Y. GANOO, J.)
