IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD Thursday, the 30th day of June, 2011 Present: Hon’ble Sri Justice N. Ravi Shankar Crl.R..C.No. 1247 of 2011 Between: Kakarlapudi Venkata Seetharama Raju …Petitioner and Kakarlapudi Rani and others …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR Crl.R..C.No. 1247 of 2011 Judgment Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. 1. The petitioner in this revision case is the husband. He filed this revision questioning the order dated:22.2.2011, passed in maintenance case – M.C.No. 144 of 2007 filed by his wife and minor daughter, by the learned Judge, Additional Family Court, Visakhapatnam. The said court granted maintenance at the rate of Rs.1,000-00 to the wife and a sum of Rs.2 000-00 to the minor daughter. 2. Sri P. Satyanarayana, learned counsel for the husband argued at length about the merits of the matter. The impugned order of the Family Court would show that it has considered all aspects and fixed maintenance at the rate of Rs.1,000-00 to the wife and Rs.2,00-00 to the daughter per month. The said amounts are reasonable. 3. The petitioner’s counsel pointed out that the wife deserted the petitioner and there was also divorce, but that by itself is not a ground to deny maintenance to the wife. He also pointed that the wife got a plot and even then the evidence and the findings of the trial court do not show that she has any independent source of income. There is no dispute about the relationship of the petitioner with his daughter. In the circumstances having regard to the reasons given by the trial court and the reasonableness of the amounts granted, I am of the opinion that the impugned order does not suffer from any infirmity or illegality. 4. Accordingly the revision case is dismissed at the admission stage. _____________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR, J. June 30, 2011. *BVS
