HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH C.R.P. No. 2598 OF 2007 Thursday, the Eleventh day of November, Two Thousand and Ten Between Smt. Kalidindi Lakshmi Prasanna Petitioner AND Kalidindi Venkata Subramanya Praveen Respondent ORAL ORDER: The petitioner is wife of the respondent. The respondent filed O.P. No.241 of 2005 for the grant of divorce. Pending he said O.P., the petitioner filed I.A. No. 784 of 2005 under Sec. 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act seeking to grant interim maintenance of Rs.25000/- per month in her favour, payable by the respondent. In her application, it is stated that the respondent who is petitioner in the O.P. is working as a Petty Officer (Engine Fitter) in ETA Company of Dubai, a Shipping Company. It is also stated in the O.P. that he is drawing a sum of Rs.75,000/- per month as salary; whereas, the wife has no source of income and she is unable to maintain herself. Therefore, she is entitled to claim a sum of Rs.25,000/- being 1/3rd of the total salary. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner i.e. wife of the respondent filed the said I.A. along with salary certificate dated 28.1.2006 to the effect that her husband is drawing a salary of Rs.10,000/- per month. The particulars of basic salary and salary account of the husband pertaining to the month of December, 2005 was also filed. Counter has been filed by the husband stating that he never worked in M/s. ETA Company of Dubai, as a petty Officer and drawn a salary of Rs.75,000/- per month. He left the job and he is an unemployee and not earning a single pie and is depending upon his parents. He says that he has no source of income. The said I.A. was dismissed by the court below finding force in the contention of the husband - respondent herein that the petitioner used to frequently quarrel with him and used to go to her parents house demanding him to take separate residence at her parents house and thus she herself deserted him and, as such, he was forced to file a divorce petition. The salary certificate for the month of December, 2005 filed by the wife – petitioner herein relates to one S.P.V.Fernandes, who is a colleague of the respondent - husband. The material particulars relates to the salary account of S.P.V. Fernandes and not the petitioner. The name of the respondent herein is not figuring in the said salary certificate. The petitioner placed on record, a certificate issued by ETA, a shipping company of Dubai, to the effect that her husband is holding Indian Passport and working in a Shipping company of Dubai and that he worked from 13.5.2004 to 11.2.2005 on a monthly salary of Rs.10,000/- . No salary certificate relating to her husband after February, 2005 has been filed. Therefore, I do not see any merit in the Civil Revision Petition to interfere with the impugned order. Consequently, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ___________________ Justice V.Eswaraiah November 11, 2010 MAS
