THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE S. RAVI KUMAR CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.58 of 2008 Date:27.08.2014 Between: Singum Venkata Ramana ..... Petitioner. AND Smt. Singum Kusuma Kumari and others. .....Respondents. The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE S. RAVI KUMAR CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.58 of 2008 ORDER: This revision is preferred challenging the orders dated 27-10-2007 in M.C.No.15/2004 on the file of Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Nizamabad, wherein a total sum of Rs.4,000/- was granted as maintenance to respondents 1 to 3. 2. The revision petitioner herein is respondent in the above referred M.C.No.15/2004 and respondents 1 to 3 are wife and children of the revision petitioner. First respondent herein filed M.C.No.15/2014 for herself and also on behalf of respondents 2 & 3 who are minor children contending that her marriage was solemnized with revision petitioner on 28- 02-1996 at Gujarathi Function Hall, Varni Road, Nizamabad and two months after the marriage, the revision petitioner left for Dubai. Subsequently, she also left for Dubai and lived there for two years and thereafter, due to differences and harassment caused to her by the revision petitioner, she left the company of the revision petitioner and staying at Jagityal. As she is unable to maintain herself and the children and as the revision petitioner neglected them, she prayed for a monthly maintenance of Rs.7,000/- for herself and three thousand each for the children thus a total sum of Rs.13,000/-. The revision petitioner resisted the claim on the ground that first respondent left the marital home on her own and he never harassed her. On these allegations, trial Court examined two witnesses on behalf of first respondent herein i.e., wife and marked six documents and examined two witnesses on behalf of revision petitioner herein and marked five documents and on a over all consideration of oral and documentary evidence, granted Rs.2,000/- for first respondent herein and Rs.1,000/- each to respondents 2 & 3 herein in total granted a sum of Rs.4,000/- towards monthly maintenance as against the claim of Rs.13,000/-. Aggrieved by the same, present revision is preferred. 3. When this matter is listed on 14-08-2011, as no one appeared on behalf of both parties, this case is posted to this day under the caption of orders. In spite of posting the matter under the caption of orders, both parties are absent and no arguments are advanced on behalf of both sides. 4. Now the point that would arise for my consideration is whether the Order of the Court below is legal, proper and correct? 5. Point:- There is no dispute with regard to relationship between the parties. Admittedly, revision petitioner is a private employee and worked for some time at Dubai. From the evidence, it is clear that the revision petitioner has got sufficient maintenance and he worked as computer operator for some time. Considering the oral evidence and documentary evidence of both sides, trial Judge fixed the quantum of maintenance at Rs.2,000/- to the wife and Rs.1,000/- to each of the child. According to evidence of revision petitioner, who is examined as R.W.1, he was earning 1,000 Dinars, which is equivalent to Rs.8,000/- in the year 2007. So out of Rs.8,000/-, trial Court granted half of the amount for the sustenance of three persons, leaving the remaining half for the sustenance to one person i.e., revision petitioner herein. On a scrutiny of the material, I do not find any illegality in the order of the trial Judge or any wrong appreciation of evidence. On a scrutiny of the material, I am of the view that the trial Court has rightly granted maintenance and the quantum fixed by the trial Court is quite reasonable and justifiable and that there are no grounds to interfere with the orders of the trial Judge. 6. For these reasons, the revision is dismissed as devoid of merits confirming the maintenance granted by the trial Court. 7. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this Criminal Revision Case, shall stand dismissed. __________________________ JUSTICE S. RAVI KUMAR Date:27.08.2014 mrb
