THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY CIVIL REVISION PETITION No. 1931 OF 2010 Date: 19-11-2010 Between L. Narasimha Rao …..Petitioner And L. Sivaganga Bhavari …..Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY CIVIL REVISION PETITION No. 1931 OF 2010 ORDER: For due execution of the decree passed in O.P No. 80 of 2008 filed for restitution of conjugal rights, the respondent – wife filed E.P No. 4 of 2010 before the Family Court, Vijayawada for attachment of the salary of the petitioner – judgment debtor under gross earnings contending that he wilfully failed to obey the decree for restitution of conjugal rights passed in the said O.P on 22-01-2010. The learned Family Court by the impugned order attached the salary of the petitioner as a debt and directed the employer to withhold a sum of Rs.20,000/- per month from his salary till further orders in the E.P and send the same to the Court. Questioning the same, the present revision is filed. This Court on 16-07-2010 by way of interim order granted stay of all further proceedings in pursuance of the docket order dated 16- 04-2010 in the said E.P for a period of eight weeks subject to the condition that the petitioner pays a sum of Rs.13,000/- per month by way of a crossed demand draft to the respondent – wife on or before 10th of every month commencing from August, 2010 and the same was extended from time to time. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned counsel for the respondent. It is contended by the learned counsel for the respondent that the petitioner is not complying with the interim order granted by this Court. Whereas, learned counsel for the petitioner asserts that the amount as directed by this Court is being regularly paid by the petitioner to the respondent – wife. Since the decree for restitution of conjugal rights can be enforced as per Order XXI Rule 32 CPC which does not specify attachment of immovable property alone, no infirmity is discernible in the order passed by the lower Court attaching the salary of the petitioner - judgment debtor. However, in view of the facts and circumstances of the case, the attachment is confined to Rs.13,000/- per month as directed by this Court on 16-07-2010. The impugned order is modified accordingly. The petitioner is also at liberty to move the lower Court for raising the attachment by filing an appropriate application and if the petitioner complies with the order of this Court as directed above, the lower Court is directed to consider the same and pass appropriate orders while disposing of the E.P finally. The civil revision petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. A. GOPAL REDDY, J 19-11-2010 ks
