====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 20-02-2023 This criminal revision application has been filed against order dated 09.08.2016 passed by the Principal Judge, Family Court, East Champaran, Motihari in Maintenance Case No. 261 of 2011 whereby, the petitioner was directed to make payment of Rs. 5,000/- per month to the opposite party (wife of the petitioner) and her children as maintenance from the date of application.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is ready to keep his wife and children with full honour and dignity. He next submits that the petitioner is a casual labour and his financial condition is not such as to pay the maintenance amount as fixed by the Court below. I have carefully perused the impugned order. The

Patna High Court CR. REV. No.958 of 2016(3) dt.20-02-2023 2/2 monthly maintenance allowance of Rs. 5,000/- per month to the opposite party (wife of the petitioner) in this age of high inflation cannot be said to be on higher side or excessive. In the backdrop of facts and circumstances of the case as mentioned in the impugned order, I do not find any illegality or irregularity in the impugned order which requires any interference by this Court. Findings arrived at by the Court below are based on evidence available on record. I do not find any merit in this application. This criminal revision application is, accordingly, dismissed.
