Counsel for the Petitioner : SRl. V HARI HARAN, Advocate Counsel for the Respondent NO'2 : PUBLIC PROSECUTOR Counsel for the Respondent No.1 : SRI RAMPRASAo PATHIPAKA The Court delivered the following: Judgment
/t / THE HONOURABLE JUSTICE G. SRI DE\/I CRL.R.C.No.808 OF 2007 JUDGMENT:
This criminal revision case is directed against the order dated 14.03.2001 in M.C.No.293 of 2005, on the file of the Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge cum-Additional Family Court, Hyderabad, wherein the said maintenance case filed by the respondent-wife was partly allowed awarding an amount of Rs. 1,500/- per month to the first respondent-wife towards maintenance from the date of petition.
2.
Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner-husband and the leamed counsel for the first respondent-wife. Perused the record. 3.
The first respondent herein is the wife. She filed M.C.No.293 of2005 seeking maintenance. By order dated 14.03.2007, the learned Judge, Family Court, granted maintenance of Rs. 1,500/- per month to the first respondent. Aggrieved thereby, the revision petitioner_ husband filed the present criminal revision case. 4.
During enquiry, the first respondent herein was examined as P.W.l and P.Ws.2 to 4 were also examined and Exs.p_l to p_4 were marked and the petitioner herein was examined as R.W.1 and R.W.2
a was also examined and Exs.R-l to R_i0 were marked. Based on the evidence available on record, the Iearned Judge, Farnily Court, recorded the findings as stated above.
5. The learned trial .Iudge while answering issue No.2 has categorically held that there is no evidence to prove that the respondent is unable to do electrical business or electrical services as usual. The petitioner-husband produced Ex.R-3 case sheet along with medical prescriptions and medical bills which shows that he underwent medical treatment for the injuries sustained by him in the accident. Further, no evidence was adduced to prove that he is not an able bodied person at present. The accident occurred in the year 2004 and he was discharged from the hospitar and his mental facurties are functioning properly which is evident from the fact that he can give his evidence effectively. He cannot deny adequate maintenance to the wife on the ground that he sustained injuries in the accident somewhere in the year 2004.
Accordingly, the learned Judge, Additional Family court came to the conclusion that the revision petitioner was in all probability earning not less than Rs.5,000/_ per month on the business and awarded an amount of Rs.
/) the petition i.e., 12.12.2005 to be paid on or before l0,L of every month. The grounds raised by the revision petitioner that he had undergone operation to the brain and he is not attending works, is not tenable, without there being any evidence on record. This court is in agreement with the findings recorded by the court below and is not inclined to interfere with the said findings. 6.
According to the respondent-wife, the petitioner was in arrears. Therefore, the revision petitioner-husband is directed to deposit the entire arrears of maintenance within a period of three months from today and shall continue to pay the maintenance as awarded by the court below commencing from February,2022 on or before l0,t,of March, 2022, failingwhich the respondent-wife is at liberty to realize the same in accordance with law.
7.
The impugned order does not suffer from any illegality or irregularity warranting interference by this court in exercise of revisional jurisdiction.
8. In the result, the criminal revision case is dismissed. 9.
Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, stand closed. SD/.A.V.S.S.C.S.M SARMA DEPUTY REGISTRAR //TRUE COPY// 6"
