Gadde Venkata Padma Sirisha And 2 Others v. Gadde Veera Venkata Satya Prasad And Another

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P.KESHAVA RAO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1874 OF 2018 ORDER:

The present Criminal Revision Case is filed questioning the orders passed in Crl.M.P.No.507 of 2015 in M.C.No.55 of 2014 on the file of the Family Court-cum-IX Additional District and Sessions Court, East Godavari, Rajamahendravaram. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners. The facts, in brief, are that the petitioners herein filed M.C.No.55 of 2014 against the respondent No.1 herein claiming a sum of Rs.15,000/- per month to the petitioner No.1 and Rs.5,000/- per month each to the petitioners 2 and 3 herein towards maintenance, on the file of the above said Court. Pending the said M.C., a petition vide Crl.M.P.No.507 of 2015 is filed claiming interim maintenance at the same rate as claimed in the M.C. The learned family Judge, after hearing, was pleased to allow the petition in part by orders dated 15.06.2018 awarding a sum of Rs.3,000/- per month to the petitioner No.1 herein and Rs.2,000/- per month each to the petitioners 2 and 3 herein towards interim maintenance pending the M.C. Seeking enhancement of the said interim maintenance amount, the present revision is filed.

The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners contended that the interim maintenance awarded by the Court below is too meagre compared to the financial status of the respondent No.1 herein.

Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and a perusal of the material on record, would reveal that under the impugned orders, the amount awarded at the rate of Rs.3,000/- per month to the petitioner No.1 and Rs.2,000/- per month each to the petitioners 2 and 3 herein towards maintenance is only an interim measure adopted by the Court below to have sustenance for the petitioners during the pendency of the M.C. In the impugned order, the financial status of either the petitioners or the respondent No.1 has not been dealt with in detail. That being the case, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the orders passed by the Court below.

There are no merits in the Criminal Revision Case and the same is accordingly dismissed. In the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, the learned Judge, Family Court-cumIX Additional District and Sessions Court, East Godavari, Rajamahendravaram is directed to dispose of the M.C.No.55 of 2014 itself as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________ P.KESHAVA RAO,J 18th JULY 2018.
