ORDER

This Criminal Revision Case is filed to call for the records relating to the order made in Crl.M.P.No.2336 of 2018 and Crl.M.P.No.2337 of 2018 in M.C.No.29 of 2015 on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate, Kamuthi, and to set aside the same. 1/4

2. The respondent wife filed a petition before the learned Judicial Magistrate,Kamuthi, seeking Rs.5000/- as monthly maintenance under section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Trial Court was pleased to pass an order directing the petitioner herein to pay a monthly maintenance of Rs.5000/- from the date of petition along with the arrears of maintenance. Challenging the same, this Criminal Revision Case is filed.

3. It is needless to state that Rs.5,000/- (Rupees Five Thousand only) is obviously a paltry sum with which any woman cannot lead her life in the present cost of living. Accordingly, I am not inclined to interfere with the impugned order passed by the learned Trial Court.

4. Hence, this Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. 09.07.2025 NCC : Yes / No Index : Yes / No Internet : Yes Sml 2/4

To 1.The Judicial Magistrate, Kamuthi.
