The learned counsel for the petitioner, while reiterating the grounds of revision, submits that the learned Trial Court failed to take into consideration the financial constraints of the petitioner and passed an order enhancing the maintenance from Rs.3,000/- to Rs.6,000/-, and urged to set aside the impugned order. 3. On the other hand Mr. Sri Sai Sanjay, while supporting the order of the learned Trial Court submits that even though the amount granted is meager to maintain the respondent No.1 herself, she has been leading her life, and urged to dismiss the revision case. 4. Ms. P. Akila Naidu, the learned Assistant Public Prosecutor, also supports the order of the learned Trial Court, stating that the order was a well- considered one and urged to dismiss the revision case. 3 Dr. YLR, J Crl.R.C.No.l278 of 2011 Dated 01.07.2025 The relationship between the petitioner and respondent No.1 is incontrovertible. The petitioner earlier used to pay maintenance of Rs.500/- per month, which was later enhanced to Rs.800/- vide Crl.M.P.No.6235 of 2006, and subsequently further enhanced to Rs. 1,500/-. The instant Crl.M.P.No.17 of 2011 was filed seeking enhancement from Rs.1,500/- to Rs.8,000/-. Undoubtedly, the living standards of middle-class women have improved from the year 1997 to the date of passing of the instant order. The learned Trial Judge, taking into consideration the income of the petitioner, who is an employee, reasonably enhanced the maintenance to Rs.6,000/-. The order does not suffer from any infirmity or any irregularity, and it has to be 5. sustained. In the result, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. There shall be no 6. order as to costs. As a sequel. Miscellaneous petitions, if any pending, shall stand closed. Sd/- V DIWAKAR DEPUTY REGISTRAR //TRUE COPY// SEOnON OFFICER To, 1.
