Learned counsel for Respondent No.2 would submit that the Trial Court has awarded maintenance to the respondent-wife after proper consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, and the impugned order is well- reasoned. Therefore, the impugned order does not warrant any interference by this Court, and the learned counsel prays for dismissal of the present revision. 5. On perusal of the record, it is evident that the learned Trial Judge, upon appreciation of the evidence on record and with proper perspective, and after 4 taking into consideration the necessities of the petitioner’s wife as well as the financial capacity of the husband, who is engaged in work in a jute factory, granted maintenance to the wife. 6. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that the impugned order passed by the learned Judge is a well- reasoned order and does not warrant interference by this Court. 7. In the result, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. However, the petitioner/husband is directed to clear the arrears amount, if any, within a period of six (6) months from today, by way of monthly installments.
