( 2026:JHHC:20169 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI Cr. Revision No. 1105 of 2025 Md. Kalim Ansari --- Petitioner Versus 1. Sabila Khatoon 2. Sana Parween --- --- Opp. Parties --- CORAM: Hon’ble Mr. Justice Rongon Mukhopadhyay --- For the Petitioner : Mr. Indra Bhushan Pd. Sinha, Adv. For the Opp. Parties: 03/08.07.2026 Heard Mr. Indra Bhushan Pd. Sinha, learned counsel for the petitioner. In this application the petitioner has prayed for setting aside the order dated 26.04.2025 passed by the learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Godda in Original Maintenance Case No.206 of 2021 whereby and whereunder the petitioner has been directed to make payment of maintenance of Rs.5,000/- per month to the opposite party no.1 and Rs.1,000/- per month to the opposite party no.2. At the outset learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he is confining his prayer only with respect to the quantum of maintenance which according to him, is on the higher side as the petitioner is an unemployed person and save and except 1 Bigha of land, he does not have any source of income. Learned counsel has further submitted that the petitioner is ready and willing to keep the opposite party no.1 with him with full dignity and honour. It appears from the findings recorded in the impugned order dated 26.04.2025 that the income of the petitioner has been assessed to be Rs.40,000/- per month. The amount of Rs.6,000/- per month as maintenance granted to the opposite parties, is a meager amount and there appears to be self-contradiction in the submission advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner to the effect that the petitioner does not have proper means to maintain himself but on the other hand, he wants one time settlement or to keep the opposite parties with him with full dignity and honour. 2 In view of the fact that the learned court below has appropriately considered the evidence on record and has awarded an amount of Rs.6,000/- per month as maintenance, I am not inclined to interfere in the impugned order dated 26.04.2025 passed in Original Maintenance Case No.206 of 2021 and consequently this revision application stands dismissed.
