THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALAKRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION No.6466 of 2008 DATED: 29-04-2010 ORDER: This petition is filed by the petitioner to quash the order, dated 26-02-2008, in Crl.R.P.No.35 of 2007 on the file of the learned II Additional District & Sessions Judge, Kadapa, arising out of M.C.No.15 of 2006 on the file of the learned I Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Proddatur. Respondents 2 to 4, being the wife and children of the petitioner herein, filed the aforesaid M.C.No.15 of 2006 seeking maintenance from the petitioner herein. The trial Court, after an analysis of the entire evidence available on record, awarded monthly maintenance at the rate of Rs.400/- each to the respondents 2 to 4 herein from the date of filing of the said petition. Questioning the said order, the respondents 2 to 4 herein preferred Crl.R.P.No.35 of 2007 and the learned Sessions Judge, Khammam, after re- assessing the entire evidence, enhanced the maintenance amount awarded by the learned Magistrate from Rs.400/- to Rs.1000/- each to the respondents 2 to 4 herein. Aggrieved by the same, the present Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner. Having considered the orders of the Courts below, this Court is of the view that the impugned order needs no interference. I find no merit in this petition. Accordingly, Criminal Petition is dismissed. _______________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 29th April, 2010 Tsy
