IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.575 of 2006 UMESH SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 4. 26.8.2008. This application has been filed against the order dated 15.5.2006 passed by Principal Judge, Family Court, Sasaram in Maintenance Case No.23 of 2004 thereby the petitioner has been directed to pay maintenance of Rs.800/- per month under section 125 Cr.P.C. Heard the learned counsel for both the parties. The submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner is still ready to keep his wife and maintain her. It is further submitted that the petitioner has no means to pay maintenance of Rs.800/- per month. The petitioner is daily wage earner. He has also other family members to maintain them. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the opposite party submitted that the amount of maintenance granted by the court below itself is not sufficient to meet the bare needs of the opposite party. Considered the submission of the learned counsel for both the parties. Perused the impugned judgment. On perusal of paragraph- 17 of the judgment, it appears that the petitioner is a daily wage earner. He has no other mean of income. He has also second wife. Thus, having regard to the facts and circumstances, the quantum of maintenance as granted by the court below is reduced to - 2 - N.H./ Rs.600/- per month instead of Rs.800/- per month which shall be paid from the date as directed by the court below. With the above modification, this application is dismissed. ( Ghanshyam Prasad )
