Further, Dhanalakshmi filed M.P.No.384 of 2017 in M.C.No.629 of 2015 for interim maintenance, in which, the Family Court, by order dated 27.10.2017, has directed Raveendranath to pay Rs.15,000/- per

month (Dhanalakshmi and two sons) at the rate of Rs.5,000/- each till the disposal of M.C.No.629 of 2015. Challenging the said order, Raveendranath has filed the present Criminal Revision Petition.
