body1970
ORDER.- The order of the learned Sub-Divisional Magistrate, awarding Rs. 25 per annum for clothing in addition to Rs. 20 per month for her maintenance is perfectly legal. It may be technically not in compliance with the word found in section 488, Criminal Procedure Code viz., ' monthly,‘ but the learned Magistrate could very well have split this amount in monthly instalments and added that on to the amount set apart for maintenance for in my view, the amount allowed separately for clothing ought to be brought under the ambit of the word “ maintenance.” With these observations the revision petition is dismissed. V.K. ------- Petition dismissed.
