THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B. CHANDRA KUMAR Crl.R.C.No.2081 of 2009 ORDER: The main contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner was not heard by the lower Court before passing the impugned order. It is also his submission that the first respondent, who is the wife of the petitioner, is gainfully employed as a private teacher. But, the petitioner could not produce any certificate, since the school authorities are not issuing any salary certificate of the first respondent. The only point that arises for consideration is whether the impugned order is liable to be set aside. The contents of the impugned order go to show that the parties were heard before passing the same. The petitioner herein filed counter before the lower Court in M.C.No.183 of 2009. In the said counter, he had not taken any specific plea that his wife-first respondent herein is gainfully employed. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has to look after his mother, unmarried sister, and has to pay house rent and other expenses. Admittedly, the petitioner has been working as a Court Master in Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal and he is having sufficient income. The first respondent is the wife and second respondent is the daughter of the petitioner. Lower Court directed the petitioner to pay Rs.4000/- per month to the first petitioner and Rs.1000/- to the second petitioner. The petitioner has been working as Court Master. His gross salary is Rs.25,459/-. G.P.F contribution is Rs.7000/-. G.P.F Advance recovery is Rs.6,800/-. The other deductions are less than Rs.1000/-. Having regard to the status of the parties, cost of living etc., I feel that there is no need to reduce any amount awarded by the lower Court. In the circumstances, if a direction is given to the lower Court to dispose of the main case as early as possible, the same would meet the ends of justice. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed subject to the direction to the lower Court to dispose of M.C.No.183 of 2009, on merits, as early as possible. ______________________ B.
