IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD WEDNESDAY, THE SEVENTH DAY OF JULY TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1387 OF 2010 Between: Mohammed Ateeq … PETITIONER And Sibra Fatima and others … RESPONDENTS This Court made the following: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1387 OF 2010 ORDER: 1. This revision is sought to be filed by father against order dated 16.04.2010 passed by the Judge, Additional Family Court, Hyderabad, in M.C.No.112 of 2009, by which maintenance was granted to his minor children, who are respondent Nos.1 and 2 herein, under Section 125 Cr.P.C. at the rate of Rs.1,750/- per month to respondent No.1 and Rs.1,100/- per month to respondent No.2. 2. Paternity of the petitioner in respect of respondent Nos.1 and 2 is not disputed. There is also no dispute that the minor children are living along with their mother, who is stated to be divorced wife of the petitioner. It is contended that the petitioner filed petition before the Family Court for custody of the children and that he is ready and willing to maintain the children. Since, no orders are passed in the petition for custody of the children by the Family Court, this Court cannot take note of that fact. 3. It is contended by the petitioner that maintenance amount granted to respondent Nos.1 and 2 is excessive. Admittedly, the petitioner was previously working as a Radiologist in a Private Hospital at Hyderabad. It is stated that after his wife filed case against him for offence punishable under Section 498A I.P.C., he was removed from service. Now, the petitioner is working at Bangalore. The petitioner did not state in which company he is working and what is his monthly income. Since, he is technical person having knowledge in Radiology, it cannot be believed that the petitioner is earning Rs.2,000/- per month only, at Bangalore. Having regard to all the circumstances of the case, I am of the opinion that the order of the lower Court granting maintenance of Rs.1,750/- and Rs.1,100/- per month to respondent Nos.1 and 2 respectively does not suffer from any infirmity. 4. Hence, the Criminal Revision Petition is dismissed. ___________________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J July 07, 2010 MD HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1387 OF 2010 July 07, 2010
