MANJERI SUNDERRAJ THIS REV.PETITION(FAMILY COURT) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 09/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: M.N.KRISHNAN,J. ====================== R.P.(FC).No.423 OF 2007 ====================== Dated this the 9th day of March 2010. O R D E R This revision is preferred against the order of the Family Court, Kozhikode in M.C.No. 306/2005. The parties got married on 13.11.2004 and Family Court directed to pay maintenance at the rate of Rs.1000/-per month. It is against that decision the revision is filed. 2. The learned counsel for the revision petitioner very strongly contends before me that the wife has no reason to live separately and that the quantum awarded is very high. It may be seen from the very averment that the husband is attributing almost all allegations against the wife including mental illness. He had gone to the extent of even suggesting that the marriage between him is in the experiment to find out whether she can get cured from mental illness. When such allegations are made that by itself is sufficient to live separately. In fact if those R.P.(FC).No.423 OF 2007 2 statements are true grounds for obtaining decree for declaration of the marriage as null and void, which is a matter that has to be considered by the appropriate forum. So far as maintenance is concerned, the wife would submit that husband is working as an assistant in an industry, whereas the husband would contend that he is only ordinary worker. Whatever it may be considering the present wage set up it is not at all possible to interfere with the reasonable amount of Rs. 1,000/- ordered to the wife as maintenance. Therefore revision lacks merits and dismissed. I make it very clear that the disposal of revision petition shall never stand in the way of any well arranged settlement between the parties.
