VENKAT SAILENDRA G Counsel for the Respondent: 1. T.V.SRI DEVI The Court made the following: COMMON JUDGMENT: The instant Criminal Revision Cases under Sections 438 read with 442 of BNSS have been filed by the Petitioners / Husband, Wife & Son respectively seeking to set aside the Order dated 06.09.2024 passed in F.C.M.C.No.44 of 2022 on the file of the Court of Family Judge-cum-III Additional District Judge, Vizianagaram. 2. Since both the revision cases are arising out of one and the same order, these matters are heard and disposed of together by way of common judgment. 3. For the sake of convenience, the parties are referred to as they are arrayed in Crl.R.C.No.81 of 2025. 4. Heard Ms.T.V.Sridevi, learned counsel for the Petitioner / Husband and Sri G.Venkat Sailendra, learned counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 & 2 / Wife & Son. Ms.K.Priyanka Lakshmi, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor is in attendance. 5. Learned counsel for the Petitioner / Husband would submit that the impugned order is unsustainable in law. The Respondent–Wife voluntarily left the matrimonial home without any sufficient reason and that the Petitioner is getting a meagre amount of Rs.5,000/- per month for working as a Pastor. 3 The maintenance granted to Respondent Nos.1 and 2 is excessive and exorbitant. 6. Learned counsel for Respondent Nos.1 & 2 / Wife & Son submits that the trial Court, awarded inadequate maintenance and failed to consider the financial capacity of Respondent No.1 and the future and education of Respondent No.2. Hence, the impugned order warrants interference and prays for enhancement of maintenance. 7. Having considered the submissions on both sides, it is evident that the dispute primarily relates to the assessment of income and the maintenance amount. The Trial Court has carefully examined the evidence has rightly awarded maintenance of Rs.10,000/- and Rs.8,000/- per month to Respondent Nos.1 & 2 respectively. While both parties have raised contentions regarding income, there is no material on record to justify interference in the discretion exercised by the Trial Court. 8. In the result, both the Criminal Revision Cases are dismissed confirming the Order dated 06.09.2024 passed in F.C.M.C.No.44 of 2022 by the learned Family Judge-cum-III Additional District Judge, Vizianagaram. Pending applications, if any, shall stand closed. _________________________________________ Dr.JUSTICE VENKATA JYOTHIRMAI PRATAPA Date:28.01.2026 Dinesh 4 HON’BLE DR.
