Vankdoth Srinivas Naik @ Raju ..... PETITIONER AND Dr.R.Sudha Rani and another .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following:
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.S.K.JAISWAL CRIMINAL PETITION No.4719 of 2015 ORDER:
The criminal petition is filed against the order dated 21.04.2015 in Crl.M.P.No.654/2014 in M.C.No.389/2013 on the file of the Additional Metropolitan
Sessions Judge, for the trial of JHCBBC-cum-Additional Family Court-cum-XXIII Additional Chief Judge, Hyderabad, by and under which, the Court below granted interim maintenance @Rs.10,000/- per month to the 1st respondent/wife. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, representing the State. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the 1st respondent/wife is working as Doctor and she has source of income, the petitioner is doing a petty business and he is not in a position to pay maintenance to the wife, and the Court below without considering the source of income of the petitioner, erroneously granted interim maintenance of Rs.10,000/- per month. Perused the record.
Having considering the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner and in view of the facts and circumstances of the case, I feel that it would meet the ends of justice if the interim maintenance granted by the Court below is reduced from Rs.10,000/- to Rs.5,000/- per month.
Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of, the impugned order is modified to the extent of reducing the interim maintenance granted by the Court below from Rs.10,000/- to Rs.5,000/- per month from the date of petition. However, the Court below is directed to dispose of the main M.C. as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of 6 (six) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed in consequence.
