MAHADEVA KANTHRIGALA 2. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR The Court made the following Order : The Criminal Revision Case is filed under Sections 438 and 442 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, aggrieved by the impugned Order passed by the learned Family Court-cum-IV Additional District Judge, Kurnool (for brevity ‘the learned Trial Court’), dated 25.07.2024 in Crl.M.P.Ṇo.237 of 2023 in F.C.M.C.No.28 of 2023. 2. Heard Mr. Varun Byreddy, learned counsel for the Petitioner; Ms. P. Akhila Naidu, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor for Respondent No.1 and Mr. Mahadeva.K, learned counsel for the Respondents 2 to 4. 3. ‘The learned Trial Court’ on 25.07.2024 in Crl.M.P.No.237 of 2023 in F.C.M.C.No.28 of 2023 on application filed by the unofficial Respondents granted interim maintenance of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) per month to the Respondent No.1 and Rs. 5,000/- (Rupees five thousand only) per month each to Respondents 2 and 3 from the date of filing of that petition till the disposal of the main maintenance case. A direction was also given to the Petitioner to pay arrears of interim maintenance within two months from the date of that order and continue to pay the interim maintenance as mentioned supra, on or before 10th of every succeeding month. 4. Mr. Varun Byreddy, learned counsel for the Petitioner would submit that the Respondent No.2 herself without any justifiable cause left from the matrimonial company of the Petitioner. Respondent No.2 is a graduate capable of maintaining herself. Without considering certain important aspects, ‘the learned Trial Court’ hastily granted interim maintenance, which has become onerous to the Petitioner to comply with it. 5. Per contra, Mr. Mahadeva.K, learned counsel for the Respondents No.2 to 4 submits that ‘the learned Trial Court’ having considered the gamut of the case, passed a reasonable order and there is no necessity to interfere on whatsoever grounds and urged to dismiss the Criminal Revision Case, stating that the Respondents No.3 and 4, who are minor children are with the Respondent No.2, who is maintaining them. The Petitioner has been working as Software Engineer in BYJU’s company and drawing salary of Rs. 2,50,000/- per month. The Respondent No.2 has been spending huge amounts towards education of the two minor children. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the benign view that the Criminal Revision Case would be disposed of by slightly modifying the interim order passed by ‘the learned Trial Court’ by directing the Petitioner to pay an amount of Rs.7,500/- (Rupees seven thousand and five hundred only) per month towards maintenance to the Respondent No.2 and Rs. 3,000/- (Rupees three thousand only) per month each to the Respondents No.3 and 4, besides the Petitioner meeting educational expenses, if any, of his children, until dispose of the F.C.M.C.No.28 of 2023 by ‘the learned Trial Court’. The arrears, if any, shall be paid by the Petitioner to the Respondents No. 2 to 4 within a period of eight (08) weeks. 7. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. Any observations made in this case are not binding on ‘the learned Trial Court’, they are made only for the sake of convenience in disposing of the Criminal Revision Case. ‘The learned Trial Court’ is directed to dispose of the F.C.M.C.No.28 of 2023 as early as possible. 8. As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. _________________________________ DR.Y. LAKSHMANA RAO,J Date: 06.10.2025 KK THE HONOURABLE DR JUSTICE Y.
