2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the maintenance order passed by the learned Family Court is very exorbitant and the petitioner is in a difficult financial position that he will not be able to pay an amount of Rs.5,600/- (Rupees Five Thousand and Six Hundred only) as monthly maintenance to the respondent and pressed for allowing the Criminal Revision case.

3. Per contra, the learned counsel for the respondent categorically contended that the petitioner is working as a sweeper in Tirupattur Corporation and drawing a decent salary and the order of maintenance for an amount of Rs.5,600/- (Rupees Five Thousand and Six Hundred only) itself is a paltry sum which can be properly paid by the petitioner and pressed for dismissal of the Criminal Revision Case.

4. Heard the learned counsels on either side and carefully perused the materials available on record.

5. It is needless to state that Rs.5,600/- (Rupees Five Thousand and Six Hundred only) is obviously a paltry sum with which any woman cannot lead her life in the present cost of living. Accordingly, I am not 2/4

inclined to interfere with the impugned order passed by the learned Trial Court.

6. In view of the same, this Criminal Revision case fails and the same is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
