THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE P.SREE SUDHA
Crl.R.C.No.943 OF 2010
JUDGMENT :
None appears for the petitioner and there is no
representation. Heard learned counsel for respondent Nos.2
and 3. Perused the record.
2. This criminal revision case arises against the order dated
19.12.2008 in M.C.No.176 of 2007 passed by the learned
Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge for the Trial of JHCBBC-
cum-Additional Family Court-cum-XXIII-Additional Chief
Judge, Hyderabad.
3. Respondent Nos.2 and 3 herein, who are wife and minor
son, filed M.C.176 of 2007 under Section 125 of Cr.P.C., against
the petitioner-husband seeking maintenance. Respondent No.2
stated that petitioner is working as Medical Sales Manager in
M/s Cadila Health Centre and used to earn Rs.30,000/- per
month, besides incentives of Rs.15,000/- per month and
requested to grant Rs.8,000/- per month to respondent No.2 and
Rs.7,500/- per month to respondent No.3 towards their
maintenance. Petitioner filed counter opposing the claim of the
respondents. He stated that he lost his job and they have entered
into compromise in the Lok Adalath. But the trial Court after
considering the oral and documentary evidence of both sides,
granted Rs.5,000/- towards monthly maintenance to respondent
No.2 from the date of petition i.e., 05.07.2007 and dismissed the
claim of respondent No.3. Aggrieved by the same, the present
revision is preferred.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he never
neglected his wife and son. Respondent No.2 suspected that the
petitioner was having illicit intimacy with one Sharmila.
Complaints were lodged by respondent No.2 and Sharmila
against each other. Thereafter, respondent No.2 entered into
compromise with the said Sharmila before Lok Adalath.
The trial Court, without appreciating the evidence properly,
granted maintenance. Hence, the petitioner-husband requested
the Court to set aside the impugned order.
5. Considering the above said circumstances, this Court is of
the opinion that the trial Court has rightly considered the income
of the petitioner and other aspects and granted Rs.5,000/- per
month towards maintenance to respondent No.2 and dismissed
the claim of respondent No.3. I do not find any infirmity in the
impugned order passed by the trial Court, warranting
interference.
6. In the result, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed.
7. As a sequel to, miscellaneous applications pending, if any,
shall stand closed.
