The impugned order would show that the Petitioner herein, who is the husband, is working as Junior Assistant in Zilla Parishad High School and earning Rs.42,000/- per month. Taking into consideration of the dependency of Respondent No.2 / Wife, income of the Petitioner and his obligation to maintain the wife, the learned trial Judge has rightly granted monthly maintenance of Rs.17,000/- to the wife to enable her to live on par with the status of the husband. In such circumstances, this Court does not find any warranting circumstances to interfere in the said order. 5. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed.
