PUBLIC PROSECUTOR (AP) The Court made the following: 3 THE HONOURABLE DR JUSTICE VENKATA JYOTHIRMAI PRATAPA I.A.No.01 of 2019 In/And CRIMINAL REVISION CASE NO: 1286/2019 COMMON ORDER: Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. The petitioner herein is the husband. The present Criminal Revision Case is filed challenging the order dated 30.01.2019 passed in F.C.O.P. No.143 of 2015 on the file of the Family Court-cum-XII Additional District Court, Guntur, whereby maintenance was awarded in favour of respondent Nos.2 and 3. 3. By the impugned order dated 30.01.2019, the learned Judge, after conducting due enquiry and upon appreciation of the material on record, awarded maintenance of Rs.3,000/- per month to the wife and Rs.1,500/- per month to the minor daughter from the date of the petition. 4. Aggrieved by the said order, the husband preferred the present revision with a delay of 200 days. An application in I.A. No.01 of 2019 has been filed seeking condonation of the said delay. In the affidavit filed in support of the application, it is stated that due to ill-health, the petitioner could not contact his counsel who appeared before the trial Court and, therefore, the delay occurred. 4 5. However, no iota of evidence has been placed before this Court to substantiate the plea of ill-health or to put forth satisfactory explain for the inordinate delay of 200 days in preferring this revision. In the absence of any material to show sufficient cause, this Court is not inclined to condone the delay. 6. Be that as it may, a fair look at the material available on record and the impugned order would disclose that the learned Judge has rightly appreciated the evidence and granted maintenance of Rs.3,000/- per month to the wife and Rs.1,500/- per month to the minor daughter. The quantum awarded cannot be said to be excessive or unreasonable warranting interference of this Court in excise of the restricted revisional jurisdiction. This Court does not find any illegality, irregularity, or perversity in the impugned order. 7. Accordingly, I.A. No.01 of 2019 seeking condonation of delay is dismissed. Consequently, the Criminal Revision Case is rejected. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous petitions pending if any, shall stand closed. _________________________________________ Dr. JUSTICE VENKATA JYOTHIRMAI PRATAPA Date: 20.02.2026 KKV 5 HON’BLE DR.
