Present criminal revision has been filed against the judgment and order dated 08.01.2025 passed by learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Shahjahanpur in Case No 487 of 2024 (Smt. Ashu and another Versus Siddharth Kalra), under Section 125 Cr. P.C., Police Station Sadar Bazar, District Shahjahanpur, whereby the learned counsel below has granted interim maintenance of Rs. 10,000/- per month to the opposite party no.2 and Rs. 2000/- to the opposite party no.3 from the date of order. 3. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the revisionist that in this case the opposite party no.2 is wife and opposite party no.3 is minor child of the revisionist. Wife is living apart from him without any sufficient cause and filed an application under Section 125 Cr. P.C. with an application for interim maintenance, which was decided vide order dated 08.01.2025, fixing Rs. 10,000/- in favour of wife and Rs. 2000/- in favour of minor child from the date of order. He further submitted that the revisionist has resigned from his job and is working in other place and gets Rs. 20,000/- per month, out of which Rs. 12,000/- has been fixed as maintenance, which is excessive and disproportionate, therefore, request to reduce the amount as fixed by the learned trial court. 4. Learned counsel for the opposite party nos.2 and 3 opposed the prayer as aforesaid and contended that the revisionist was working in Rubico I.T. Versus Counsel for Revisionist(s) : Gaurav Gupta Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A., Santosh Kukmar Tiwari Siddharth Kalra .....Revisionist(s) State Of U.P. And 2 Others .....Opposite Party(s)
Private Limited, Plot No. 19, Sidkul Bye-pass Road, Integrated Industrial Estate I.I.E Section 12 B.H.E.L., Haridwar (Uttarkhand) and get handsome salary but for depriving the claim of wife, he has filed resignation letter and concealed the real fact about his income and shows his income Rs. 20,000/- per month. Learned trial court has passed the order in question after considering all the fact and income of the revisionist and there is no illegality in the order passed by the learned trial court. 5.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, submissions made by learned counsel for the revisionist as well as learned A.G.A., perusal of record and the order dated 08.01.2025 passed by the learned trial court, it appears that opposite party nos. 2 and 3 are wife and minor child of the revisionist and those are living separate from him. Revisionist has stated that he has resigned from his previous job and now he is working at Ukay Metal Industries Pvt. Ltd., Haridwar and gets Rs. 30,000/- per month. Trial court has fixed the amount of Rs. 10,000/- per month in favour of wife and Rs. 2000/- in favour of minor child that appears to be excessive and liable to be reduced, therefore, Rs.10,000/- are reduced to Rs. 8,000/- in favour of wife from the date of application and Rs. 2000/- in favour of minor child shall remain the same. 6. Accordingly, this criminal revision is partly allowed. September 19, 2025 T.S.
