THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1266 OF 2011 ORDER: 1 Heard Smt. K. Radhika appearing for petitioner / husband. 2 A perusal of the order dated 18.03.2011 of the Family Court, Vijayawada passed in M.C.No.173 of 2005 filed for maintenance under section 125 Cr.P.C. would show that it granted a sum of Rs.1,000/- p.m. to the wife and Rs.750/- p.m. to each of the minor daughters of the petitioner herein. 3 The order would disclose that the trial court has considered all the aspects and it is seen that there is no dispute regarding the relationship between the parties. Having regard to the reasons given by the trial court and reasonableness of the amounts granted, I am of the opinion that there is no ground to interfere in this matter. Smt. K. Radhika then pointed out that the trial court has granted arrears right from the date of the petition i.e. 01.12.2005 and this has proved burdensome for the petitioner. Another aspect to be noted is that the trial court has not recorded any reasons for giving maintenance from the date of the petition. It is however seen that the wife has no other means and the jurisdiction of this court in a revision is a discretionary jurisdiction. Having regard to the relationship between the parties and the fact that the wife has nothing to fall back upon to maintain the children, I am of the opinion that this court should not exercise its discretion to interfere with the impugned order. 4 Smt Radhika then pointed out that the husband is ready to take back the wife into his society. If that is so, he can approach the trial court or pursue any other remedy for getting them back. 5 This petition is accordingly disposed of at the admission stage. ------------- 30.06.2011 Kvsn
