Mr. Tarkeshwar Nath Thakur ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 25-02-2023 This criminal revision application has been filed against order dated 09.12.2016 passed in Maintenance Case No. 19 M of 2013 by the Principal Judge, Family Court, Sheikhpura whereby, the learned Principal Judge has directed the petitioner to pay Rs. 5,000/- (five thousand) per month to opposite party No. 2 (wife of the petitioner) (Rs. 3,000/- to the wife of the petitioner and Rs. 2,000/- to her minor son), as maintenance allowance.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is an unemployed person and does not have sufficient means to pay the amount of maintenance so fixed by the Court below. He also submits that without appreciating the evidence
Patna High Court CR. REV. No.407 of 2017(3) dt.25-02-2023 2/2 produced on behalf of the petitioner, the impugned order of maintenance allowance has been passed by the learned Court below.
I have carefully perused the impugned order. The monthly maintenance allowance of Rs. 5,000/- per month to opposite party No. 2 (wife of the petitioner) in this age of high inflation cannot be said to be excessive or onerous. In such circumstances, I am not inclined to interfere with the impugned order in the background of facts which have been mentioned in the impugned order.
I do not find any merit in this application. This criminal revision application is, accordingly, dismissed. (Prabhat Kumar Singh, J) Navya/- U T
