ORDER
The petitioners have filed this criminal revision petition challenging the order dated 06.09.2024 passed in M.C.No.69 of 2022 by the learned I Additional Principal Family Judge, Chennai.
2. The respondent/husband had already filed O.P.No.3738 of 2018 for dissolution of marriage between the first petitioner/wife and the respondent/husband. The first petitioner/wife had also filed O.P.No.142 of 2018 for restitution of Conjugal rights before the Subordinate Court, Tirupatthur. The petitioners have also filed the maintenance case under Section 125 Cr.P.C., in M.C.No.69 of 2022, seeking monthly maintenance. 2/5
3. Though the first petitioner had already invoked Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act and when the same was pending before the Court, she has also invoked Section 125 Cr.P.C., before the I Additional Family Court at Chennai and filed M.C.No.69 of 2022 and the said petition was partly allowed by the Family Court vide order dated 06.09.2024.
4. Considering the economical status of the respondent/wife and income and liability of the respondent/wife , the Family Court ordered Rs.10,000/- per month to the first petitioner and Rs.20,000/- per month to the second petitioner, as monthly maintenance on the file of the I Additional Family Court at Chennai.
5. Considering the scope and object of Section 125 Cr.P.C., this Court does not find any perversity or illegality or infirmity in the impugned order passed by the learned I Additional Family Judge at Chennai and this is not a fit case for admission.
3/5
6. It is submitted that the first petitioner/wife had already invoked Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act. Hence, the petitioners are at liberty to work out their remedy before the Court in the pending petition filed under the Hindu Marriage Act. Hence, this Criminal Revision Petition is dismissed at the admission stage itself.
