THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED C.R.P.No.1747 of 2009 ORDER: This civil revision petition is filed against the order dated 17.09.2008 passed in I.A.No.3 of 2008 in O.P.No.808 of 2007 by the Judge, Family Court, Visakhapatnam. 2. The petitioners, who are wife and children of the respondent, filed the above said I.A. under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, for grant of interim maintenance directing the respondent to pay a sum of Rs.15,000/- to the first petitioner and Rs.10,000/-per month each to the second and third petitioners, pending disposal of the O.P., which was filed for divorce. The Court below, after consideration of the material on record, while dismissing the claim of the first petitioner directed the respondent to pay a sum of Rs.1000/-per month each to the second and third petitioners. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioners filed the present revision stating that the interim maintenance granted by the Court below to the second and third petitioners, who are studying 10th and 8th class, is not at all sufficient and that the respondent being a business magnet earning not less than Rs.2 lakhs per month. 3. Though notice was served on the respondent, none appeared on his behalf. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and perused the material on record. 4. There is no dispute with regard to the relationship of the petitioners and the respondent. Inasmuch the first petitioner is not denying her earnings by running a Beauty Parlour and also by leasing a fishing boat, non-granting of interim maintenance to her by the trial Court is sustainable. Insofar as the interim maintenance of the second and third petitioners is concerned, considering their age, studies and cost of living, I am of the opinion that the interim maintenance granted at the rate of Rs.1000/-each to the second and third petitioners is enhanced to Rs.1500/-each from the date of the petition. 5. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is allowed in part. No costs. __________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J Date: 01.04.2010 sj
