HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION No.842 of 2008 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed by the petitioner seeking to quash the order, dated 14.12.2007, passed by the learned Judge, Family Court, Warangal, in Crl.M.P.No.370 of 2007 in M.C.No.19 of 2007. Facts of the case, in brief, are that the 1st respondent herein filed a maintenance case in M.C.No.19 of 2007 before the Family Court, Warangal, against the petitioner herein, seeking maintenance of Rs.2,000/- p.m. Along with the maintenance case, she also filed Crl.M.P.No.370 of 2007 seeking interim maintenance. The Court below, having considered the income of the petitioner and taking the other factors into consideration, awarded interim maintenance of Rs.1,000/- p.m. to the 1st respondent from the date of the petition, on or before 15th of every succeeding month, by an order dated 14.12.2007. The same is questioned in this criminal petition. While ordering notice before admission to the 1st respondent, this Court, by an order dated 15.02.2008, granted interim suspension of the impugned order, on condition of the petitioner depositing 50% of the arrears of interim maintenance as on that date within a period of four weeks and continuing to pay the maintenance at the rate of Rs.500/- p.m. on or before 15th of every succeeding month. Thereafter, for the first time, the matter is listed before this Court today. It is not known as to whether the petitioner has complied with the order impugned in this criminal petition or not. Further, the amount of interim maintenance awarded by the Court below is only Rs.1,000/-. In these hard days, it is difficult for the 1st respondent to maintain herself with the said amount. It is not known as to whether the maintenance case is still pending or decided. In the light of the above, I see no merits in this criminal petition to quash the impugned order. Accordingly, the criminal petition is dismissed. _____________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA 22nd April, 2010 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION No.842 of 2008 (Dismissed) Date:22-04-2010 CBS
