For the sake of convenience, the parties are referred to as per their ranking before the Family Court. 3. It is the case of the petitioners that, the marriage of the petitioner No.1 with the respondent was solemnized on 06.05.2015 and in their wedlock petitioner No.2 is born. It is the case of the petitioners that, the respondent and his family members were inhumanly treating the petitioners and as such the petitioners have left the matrimonial home and residing separately. Hence, the petitioners have filed Criminal Miscellaneous No.359/2021 seeking maintenance. - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:5233 RPFC No. 100043 of 2023 4. After service of notice, the respondent-husband entered appearance and filed detailed statement of objection. It is the specific contention of the respondent- husband that, the petitioner No.1 was adamant and has left the matrimonial home without cause and accordingly, sought for dismissal of the petition. 5. The Family Court after considering the material on record by its order dated 09.11.2022 granted maintenance of Rs.4,000/- per month to the petitioner No.1 and Rs.1,000/- per month to the petitioner No.2. Feeling aggrieved by the same, the respondent-husband has preferred this petition. 6. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner contended that, the Family Court has failed to consider the fact that, the respondent No.1 herein is working and she is eking out her livelihood and accordingly sought for interference of this Court. 7. In the light of the submission made by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, I have carefully examined the finding recorded by the Family - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:5233 RPFC No. 100043 of 2023 Court. It is not in dispute that, the marriage of the petitioner No.1 with the respondent – husband was solemnized on 06.05.2015 and in their wedlock petitioner No.2 is born. 8. Taking into account the fact that, the petitioners are residing separately and as the respondent- husband is working as Supervisor at T.S. Pumps and Valves Pvt. Ltd., at Industrial Estate, Hubballi and as per the salary certificate produced at Ex.R5, I am of the view that, the finding recorded by the Family Court is just and proper. 9. In that view of the matter, no interference is called for in this petition. Accordingly, petition is dismissed. Sd/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE SMM CT-MCK List No.: 2 Sl No.: 1
