There is no dispute about their relationship. There is no dispute that due to disputes between them, both the parties are living separately. It is stated by the petitioner’s counsel that the petitioner married second wife and is residing with her. The lower Court granted interim maintenance of Rs.2,000/- per month to the 1st respondent under Section 125 Cr.P.C by the impugned order. The petitioner is aggrieved by the quantum of interim maintenance. According to the 1st respondent, the petitioner is working as driver getting salary of Rs.8,000/- per month and also rents of Rs.6,000/- per month. The petitioner’s counsel stated that the petitioner is only an auto driver on a hired auto. As the matter now stands at the interim maintenance stage, there is no material to show that the 1st respondent has got any independent source of livelihood. In the circumstances, it cannot be said that interim maintenance of Rs.2,000/- per month granted by the lower Court is excessive. There is no infirmity in the order passed by the lower Court. Hence, the criminal revision petition is dismissed. _______________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J January 19, 2011 ksh
