SHRI.AJIT G ANJARLEKAR SRI.GOVIND PADMANAABHAN SRI.MANU V. SRI.G.P.SHINOD THIS REV.PETITION(FAMILY COURT) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 26.03.2025, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING:
ORDER
This revision petition has been filed challenging the order
of maintenance passed by the Family Court, Nedumangadu in a proceedings under Section 125 of the Cr.P.C.
2. The petitioner is the husband of the 1 st respondent and the father of the 2 nd respondent. The respondents filed M.C.No.225/2013 before the Family Court
claiming maintenance. The Family Court after trial granted monthly maintenance at the rate of ₹7,000/- to the 1 st petitioner and ₹500/- to the 2nd petitioner. This revision petition has been filed challenging the said order.
3. I have heard both sides.
4. The marriage and paternity are not in dispute. The petitioner does not have a case that the 1 st respondent has
any job or source of income. Admittedly, the petitioner is working in Saudi Arabia as a driver. The petitioner has produced Ext.R5 to show that he was drawing only 600 Saudi Riyals per month from his job. But it has not been properly proved in evidence. Considering the ability of the petitioner and the requirement of the respondents, the monthly maintenance granted by the Family Court appears to be absolutely reasonable. I find no reason to interfere with the impugned order. Hence, the revision petition is dismissed. Sd/- DR. KAUSER EDAPPAGATH JUDGE kp
