THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR FRESH MATTERS, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SACHIN SHANKAR MAGADUM ORAL ORDER Office objection in regard to maintainability of revision is over ruled since petitioner is assailing the order of maintenance passed by the learned Magistrate and affirmed by the revisional Court in Crl.R.P.No.5009/2023. 2. This petition is filed seeking quashing of the concurrent orders wherein the petitioner is directed to pay maintenance at the rate of Rs.4,000/- to the wife and Rs.2,000/- to each of the children. On examining the - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:34160 WP No. 9804 of 2024 records, it is forthcoming that petitioner is working as a Teacher and is drawing a salary of Rs.32,000/-. Therefore, on examining the order under challenge, this Court is of the view that the maintenance awarded is infact on the lower side. Since he is drawing salary of Rs.32,000/-, a moderate maintenance is awarded by both the Courts below. The matter therefore, may not warrant interference with by this Court. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed. Sd/- (SACHIN SHANKAR MAGADUM) JUDGE ALB List No.: 1 Sl No.: 63
