CRP 274/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR.MADAN B. LOKUR The petitioner is aggrieved by an order dated 5.1.2011 passed by the lea rned District Judge, Nalbari in T.S.(D) No.14 of 2010. By the impugned order, th e petitioner has been directed to pay maintenance of Rs.3,000/- per month to the respondent and has also been directed to pay a cost of Rs.2,000/-. The petition has been filed by the petitioner on the ground that he is a vegetable seller and is unable to afford the maintenance. In the petition filed by the respondent, it was alleged that the petitio ner is not a poor vegetable seller and he is a businessman by profession and his income is not less than Rs.30,000/- per month. Learned counsel for the petitioner points out that the ground taken for filing the petition for divorce is the poverty of the petitioner who is often de scribed by the respondent as a poor man. It is interesting to note that the divorce petition has been filed not b y the respondent, but by the petitioner himself. The petitioner has yet to prove the averments made in the divorce petition. There is no merit in this petition. Dismissed.
