THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU CRIMINAL PETITION No. 2752 of 2009 ORDER: 1. This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to set aside the order dated 20.02.2009 in Criminal Revision Petition No.25 of 2008 on the file of the Sessions Judge, Vizianagaram, whereunder and whereby the maintenance of Rs.3,000/- per month granted to the first respondent, who is wife of the petitioner, in the order dated 23.09.2008 in Maintenance Case No.15 of 2006 on the file of the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First class, Vizianagaram, was reduced to Rs.2,500/- per month. 2. Heard both sides. 3. Inherent powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. can be exercised when there is an abuse of process of Court or to secure ends of justice or to give effect to any order under the Code. The grievance of the petitioner herein, who is husband of the first respondent herein, is that the amount of maintenance granted is on higher side and therefore he prays to reduce the same. 5. Admittedly, the petitioner is working as Constable in Border Security Force. A categorical finding has been recorded by the trial Court that he was drawing gross salary of Rs.8,768/- per month and after deducting statutory deductions, his take home salary is Rs.7,970/-. If that is the case, 1/3rd thereof can reasonably granted to his wife towards her maintenance. Therefore, the order under challenge does not suffer from any infirmities so as to call for interference by this Court. 6. The Criminal Petition is devoid of merit and is, accordingly, dismissed. ----------------------- (K.C.Bhanu, J.) 13.08.2010 DRK THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU CRIMINAL PETITION No. 2752 of 2009 Date: 13.8.2010 Between: K.Pardhasaradhi …Petitioner And K.Parvathi “Lakxmi’ & another …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU CRIMINAL PETITION No. 2752 of 2009 13.8.2010
