Learned counsel appearing for the applicant submits that impugned
order passed by the learned Family Court, is contrary to the facts and
3 evidence available on record. It is further submitted that the learned Family Court committed an illegality in granting Rs. 10,000/- per month interim maintenance to the respondents looking to the liability and different loan taken by the applicant, the award of the interim maintenance is too higher against the applicant. Therefore, the impugned
order is bad in law, perverse and erroneous, and the same it is liable to be set-aside/quashed.
6. I have heard learned counsel for the applicant, perused the pleadings and documents appended thereto.
7. Considering the submissions advanced by the learned counsel for the applicant, and from the perusal of the impugned order passed by the learned Family Court, it transpires that after hearing all the statements of the witnesses and perusing the evidence available on record, the learned Family Court has passed the impugned order and awarded interim maintenance to the respondents, and there is no any illegality and infirmity while passing the same which requires interference by this Court.
8. Accordingly, the criminal revision being devoid of merit is liable to be and is hereby rejected.
