In the aforesaid order, the petitioner, who is the husband, had been directed to pay an interim maintenance of Rs.10,000/- collectively per month to the respondent ( who is his wife) and her child. The petitioner has also been directed to pay a sum of Rs.3000/- towards litigation expenses to the respondent. The petitioner has been directed to pay the aforesaid sum from the date of filing of I.A. No. 2 of 2023. 3. The petitioner has filed this civil revision petition on the ground that the interim maintenance amount fixed by the Court below is excessive. According to him, he does not have the means to pay the interim maintenance amount fixed by the Court below. He claims that he has to maintain his mother and discharge his loans and therefore, is unable to pay the interim maintenance amount fixed by the Court below. 4. Admittedly, a child was born out of the wedlock between the petitioner and the respondent. There is no documentary evidence produced by the petitioner before the Court below to prove that the respondent is having her own source of income. Learned counsel for the respondent has also submitted before this Court that the respondent is 2\4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis unemployed. The sum fixed by the Court below, based on the materials available on record, is only Rs.10,000/- towards interim maintenance to the wife and child and Rs.3000/- towards litigation expenses, which, in the considered view of this Court, is not unreasonable. 5. It is represented by the learned counsel for the respondent that the petitioner has paid the interim maintenance amount only upto May, 2025 and thereafter, no interim maintenance amount has been paid by the petitioner to the respondent. 6. After giving due consideration to the aforesaid factors, this Court is of the considered view that there is no infirmity in the impugned order passed by the Court below. Therefore, this Court is not interfering with the impugned order. Accordingly, the civil revision petition stands dismissed. No costs.
