HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION NO.220 OF 2009 DATE:29.07.2010 Between: Bantu Rajeswar …… Petitioner. And: Bantu Lavanya and 2 others. …..Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION NO.220 OF 2009 ORDER: 1. The petitioner is divorced husband of the 1st respondent and father of the 2nd respondent. Both the courts below after considering the entire evidence on record granted maintenance of Rs.2,000/- per month to the wife and Rs.1,000/- per month to the minor daughter. Since there is divorce between the petitioner and the 1st respondent, there is no question of their reunion. It is stated that the petitioner married another lady and is leading life with his second wife. The 1st respondent is unmarried after divorce. 2. It is contended by the petitioner’s counsel that the petitioner is working in a finance company getting salary of Rs.2,000/- per month as per Ex.B-1 salary certificate filed by him. According to the respondents, the petitioner is a partner in that finance company. Simply because the respondents could not produce any documents to show that the petitioner is a partner in finance company and that the petitioner has got more income than Rs.2,000/- per month, this Court is not prepared to conclude that the petitioner’s income is only Rs.2,000/- per month. If he had income of Rs.2,000/- only; he would not have married another lady apart from maintaining the respondents 1 and 2 by paying their maintenance amounts. The petitioner is an able bodied male person who can work and earn. It is not as if the alleged work in finance company is whole time work. After all, the amounts of maintenance granted to the respondents 1 and 2 works out at Rs.66/- and Rs.33/- per day respectively. In these days of inflation, the said amounts are nothing but bare minimum. I do not find any error in the orders passed by both the courts below. 3. Hence, the petition is dismissed. __________________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU,J. Date:29.07.2010. Gk.
