Versus

Smt. Geeta Sahu, W/o Shri Amarlal Sahu, aged about 32 years, R/o Baderbeli, Tahsil Malkharouda, District Janjgir-champa (C.G.) ---- Non-applicant For Applicant :

Shri Sanjay Agrawal, Advocate.

Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal Order On Board 08/09/2015 (1) Heard on admission.

(2) In a proceeding for maintenance initiated under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short 'the Cr.P.C.') by nonapplicant/wife Smt. Geeta Sahu, the Family Court, Sakti, District Janjgir-champa, by its order dated 10.06.2015, passed in Case No.17/2015, granted Rs.2000/- as monthly interim maintenance amount in favour of the non-applicant; further recorded a finding that the relationship of husband and wife is admitted and non-applicant is unable to maintain herself which is sought to be challenged by the applicant/husband stating that the same is on higher side.

(3) After hearing learned counsel appearing for the applicant, taking into consideration the financial status of the applicant and considering the cost of living & price-index and basic needs of the non-applicant, an amount of Rs.2,000/- as monthly interim maintenance granted to the non-applicant cannot be said to be shockingly high warranting interference by this Court in its revisional jurisdiction. (4) The revision deserves to be and is accordingly dismissed at admission stage. However, the trial Court is directed to expedite the trial of maintenance proceeding and to conclude the same within a period of three months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. (5) Certified copy as per rules.
