HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH C.R.P. No. 1183 OF 2007 Thursday, the Eleventh day of November, Two Thousand and Ten Between Korada Adibabu Petitioner AND Smt. Korada Adilakshmi Respondent ORAL ORDER: The petitioner, who is husband of the respondent, filed O.P. No.463 of 2005 seeking divorce under Sec. 13(1)(a) and (b) of the Hindu Marriage Act. Out of the wedlock, the petitioner begot three children viz., two sons and a daughter. During pendency of the said O.P., the respondent – wife filed I.A. No.622 of 2006 under Sec. 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act for the grant of interim maintenance at Rs.1,000/- per month for herself, Rs.3,000/- for the two children and Rs.3000/- towards legal expenses. It is stated that though the husband is earning Rs.7,000/- per month, he is not providing any maintenance. Counter was filed by the petitioner herein denying about his income, stating that he is only an agricultural labour earning Rs.80/- per day. The court below allowed the said application directing the petitioner herein to pay monthly maintenance of Rs.1,500/- in all viz., Rs.1,000/- to the petitioner and Rs.500/- to the daughter and dismissed rest of the claim made by the petitioner. As O.P. No. 463 of 2005 is pending for the last five years, having regard to the facts and circumstances, without expressing any opinion on the merits or otherwise of the case, I am not inclined to interfere with the impugned order. The Civil Revision Petition is accordingly dismissed. However, the learned Judge, Family Court, Visakhapatnam may dispose of O.P. No. 463 of 2005 as expeditiously as possible, without undue delay, on priority basis. No order as to costs. ___________________ Justice V.Eswaraiah November 11, 2010 MAS
