IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Revision No.691 of 2010(O&M) Date of Decision: August 17, 2010. Ravinder Kumar ...... PETITIONER(s) Versus Deepti and another ...... RESPONDENT(s) CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr. Jagram Singh Cooner, Advocate for the petitioner. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present revision petition has been filed against order dated 13.07.2009 passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Ambala vide which appeal filed by the present revision-petitioner against order dated 12.05.2009 passed by the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ambala in petition under Section 125 of Code of Criminal Procedure (for short ‘Cr.P.C.’) filed by the respondents against the present petitioner, was dismissed. Heard. Learned Magistrate in a petition under Section 125 Cr.P.C. filed by the respondents i.e. wife and daughter of the present petitioner, directed him to pay maintenance of Rs.1500/- per month to respondent No.1 and Rs.1000/- per month to respondent No.2. CRR No. 691 of 2010 Petitioner is, admittedly, a skilled goldsmith. He has taken the plea that earlier he used to work as goldsmith and used to earn Rs.20,000/- to Rs.25,000/- and however, now he is not doing the said job and rather he is working at some other shop. Hence, even if it is taken that he is working as a skilled labourer with a goldsmith, learned Appellate Court has rightly taken his income as Rs.7500/- at least. Respondents have been awarded only Rs.2500/- per month as maintenance, which comes to only 1/3rd of the minimum income of the present petitioner. Hence, it can not be said that any illegality has been committed by learned courts in passing the said order. Hence, there is no merit in the present revision petition and the same is, hereby, dismissed. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) August 17, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 2
