ORDER

The present criminal revision case is directed against the order dated 14.08.2015 passed in Crl.M.P.No.685 of 2015 in M.C.No.57 of 2014 by the learned Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge for the Trial of Jubilee Hills Car Bomb Blast Case-cum-Additional Family Court, Hyderabad.

2. Heard and perused the material on record.

3. During the pendency of M.C.No.57 of 2014, respondents 1 to 3 being the wife and the daughters of petitioner filed Crl.M.P.685 of 2015 claiming interim maintenance at the rate of Rs.10,000/-per month to the wife and Rs.5,000/-per month each to the daughters. The trial Court having found that the petitioner is working as a Government School Teacher drawing net salary of Rs.11,500/-per month and is having sufficient means and willfully neglected and refused to provide minimum necessities to his wife and daughters, granted interim maintenance at the rate of Rs.6,000/- per month to the wife and Rs.5,000/-per month each to the daughters from the date of the petition till disposal of the maintenance case. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed the present revision.

4. The relationship between the parties is not in dispute. The trial Court, after taking the various circumstances into consideration, granted the said interim maintenance to respondents 1 to 3. Apparently, the order impugned is an interim in nature. Therefore, without expressing any opinion on merits of the matter, the trial Court is directed to dispose of M.C.No.57 of 2014 within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, the petitioner is directed to pay a sum of Rs.3,000/- per month to the first respondent and Rs.2,500/-per month each to respondents 2 and 3 towards

interim maintenance on or before 10th of every succeeding month. The petitioner is further directed to pay the arrears, if any, to respondents 1 to 3 calculating at the rate fixed by this Court in three equal monthly installments commencing from the month of December, 2015. The payments, if any made, have to be adjusted accordingly. The trial Court shall dispose of the said M.C. on merits without being influenced by the observations of this Court.

5. With the above said modification of the impugned order, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions, if any pending in this revision, shall stand closed.
