1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL REVISION APPLICATION NO.185 OF 2009 Mahesh Sakharam Dawande ...Applicant vs. Mrs.Laxmi Mahesh Dawande ...Respondent Mr.Sanjay Barde for the applicant Ms A.T.Javeri A.P.P for State CORAM :A.S.OKA,J. DATE : JULY 3, 2009 P.C. . Not on board. Taken on board. 1 Heard the learned counsel for the applicant. The applicant-husband has taken an exception to the order passed by the learned Judge of the Family Court directing him to pay maintenance at the rate of Rs.3,000/- per month to the respondent-wife. The submission of the learned counsel for the applicant-husband is that though earlier the applicant was employed, due to harassment by the respondent-wife, he lost his employment and as of today, the applicant is jobless and without any income. He stated that this aspect has not at all been considered by the Family Court. 2 I have carefully considered the submissions. In paragraph 18 of the impugned order, the learned Judge of the Family Court observed that the applicant was admittedly serving with Airtel and was drawing a salary 2 of Rs.12,000/- per month. The learned Judge observed that though the applicant accepted that he was employed with the company, he did not produce his salary slip to show that he was getting the salary less than Rs. 12,000/-. Therefore, the learned Judge accepted his income of Rs.12,000/- per month. Thus, the earning capacity of the applicant as reflected from the said fact is Rs.12,000/- per month. The learned Judge also noted that the respondent-wife had suffered 52% burn injuries and she was under medical treatment for 3 to 4 months. The earning capacity as reflected from the record of the petitioner is Rs.12,000/-. Hence, it is impossible to find fault with the impugned order granting maintenance of Rs.3,000/- per month. Revision application is rejected. 3 In view of the rejection of the revision application, criminal application no.172 of 2009 does not survive and the same is disposed of. JUDGE
