COURT, BELGAVI, ALLOWING THE PETITION FILED UNDER SEC.125

THIS PETITION IS COMING ON FOR ADMISSION THIS DAY,
THE COURT MADE THE FLOWING:
ORDER
This Revision Petition is filed by the husband-
respondent in Crl.Misc.No.61/2016 on the file of the Family
Court, Belagavi, challenging the order dated 2/1/2018,
allowing the petition in part.
2. For the sake of convenience, the parties to this
revision petition are referred to with their rank before the
Family Court.
3. It is case of the petitioner that the marriage between
the petitioner No.1 and the respondent was solemnized on
7/3/2005 at Ganesh Temple, Hindalga Belagavi. In their
wedlock, the petitioner No.2 was born. It is the case of the
petitioners that they have not laid happy married life in the
matrimonial home and the respondent was demanding
dowry and as such the petitioner No.1 has lodged
RPFC No. 100020 of 2018
complaint to the jurisdictional police under Section 498(A)
of IPC. It is further contended that the respondent has
contracted second marriage and having three daughters
and a son. Accordingly, the petitioners have filed Crl.Misc.
No.449/2005 seeking maintenance and during the
pendency of the said proceedings, respondent-husband
promised to take back the petitioners-wife, however, the
respondent and his family members have not treated the
petitioners properly by providing food and basic necessities
and as such the petitioners have filed Crl.Misc.No.61/2016
seeking maintenance.
4. On service of notice, respondent entered appearance
and filed detailed objections denying the averments made
in the claim petition.
5. In order to prove their case, the petitioner No.1 was
examined as PW.1 and produced 5 documents and the
same were marked as Ex.P.1 to Ex.P.5. The respondent
was examined as RW.1 and produced 2 documents which
were marked as EX.R.1 to EX.R.2. The Family Court, after
RPFC No. 100020 of 2018
considering the material on record, by order dated
2/1/2018, has allowed the petition and being aggrieved by
the same, the respondent-husband has presented this
petition.
6. I have heard Smt.Bharati S Hanagandi, learned
counsel appearing for the petitioner and
Sri.A.S.Hanmannavar, learned counsel appearing for the
respondents.
7. Smt.Bharati S Hanagandi, learned counsel for the
petitioner contended that the impugned order passed by
the Family Court is without any proper reason and the
petitioner herein is ever ready to take back the
respondents and therefore, she contended that the
impugned order requires interference in this petition.
8. Per contra Sri.A.S.Hanmannavar, learned counsel
appearing for the respondents sought to justify the
impugned order passed by the Prl. Judge, Family Court,
Belagavi.
RPFC No. 100020 of 2018
9. In the light of the submissions advanced by the
learned counsel for the parties, it is not in dispute that the
marriage between the petitioner No.1 and the respondent
was solemnized on 7/3/2005 at Belagavi and in their
wedlock, petitioner No.2 was born. Perusal of the finding
would substantiate that the petitioner No.1 lodged a
complaint against the respondent-husband under Section
498(A) of IPC. It is also forthcoming from the records that
the petitioners are residing away from the respondent.
That apart, it is case of the petitioner herein that the
respondent-husband had taken second wife to the
matrimonial home and having three daughters and a son.
In that view of the matter, taking into consideration the
fact that the respondent-husband is having immovable
properties and as it is the bounden duty of the petitioner-
husband to take care of his wife and child, I am of the view
that, the finding recorded by the Family Court awarding
maintenance of Rs.4,000/- per month to the petitioner
No.1 and Rs.2,000/- per month to the petitioner No.2 is
RPFC No. 100020 of 2018
just and proper and the petitioner herein has not made out
a case for interference of this Court in the impugned order.
In the result, I do not find any merits in the petition.
Accordingly, the Revision Petition is dismissed.
