IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD MONDAY, THE TWENTY SIXTTH DAY OF JULY TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1330 OF 2010 Between: Mohd. Aijazuddin … PETITIONER And Smt. Inayatunissa Begum and another … RESPONDENTS This Court made the following: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1330 OF 2010 ORDER: 1. The lower Court enhanced maintenance amount from Rs.5,000/- to Rs.10,000/- per month till date of retirement of the petitioner and fixed maintenance amount at Rs.8,000/- per month thereafter. The respondent No.1 is divorced wife of the petitioner. Her maintenance was fixed in the year 2002 at Rs.5,000/- per month. After a gap of seven years, the maintenance amount was enhanced to Rs.10,000/- per month. In these seven years, there is increase in salary of the petitioner and increase in cost of living by several times. Simply because the respondent No.1 did not file medical records to show that she was taking treatment for her ailments in Yashoda Hospital and other costly Hospitals, it cannot be said that she has not made out any ground for enhancement. As on today, the petitioner is drawing gross salary of Rs.49,000/-. Any medical bills relating to his ailment, of his dependant mother and other family members, will be reimbursed by the Government, apart from his salary. Even after retirement, the petitioner gets lumpsum payments like provident fund amount, gratuity, surrender of leave salary and commutation of pension amount etc. If interest payable on those amounts are coupled with his pension amount, then the amount will be more than the salary being received by him as on today. In these circumstances, this Court is of the opinion that fixing of maintenance amount to the respondent No.1 at Rs.10,000/- per month till retirement of the petitioner and at Rs.8,000/- per month thereafter is in no way excessive. I see no reasons to interfere with the order passed by the lower Court. 2. [Hence, the Criminal Revision Petition is dismissed. ___________________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J July 26, 2010 MD HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1330 OF 2010 July 26, 2010
