Judgment : 1. This is a Revision filed by the wife-petitioner. She is the respondent in F.C.O.P. No.10 of 2001 on the file of the Family Court, Salem. She filed I.A. No. 212 of 2003 under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act seeking Rs.3,000 towards monthly maintenance for herself and her children from the date of Petition till the disposal of the main F.C.O.P. and also Rs.10,000 towards litigation expenses from the respondent-husband. The Family Court after finding that an order has been passed by the Judicial Magistrate No. II, Hosur in M.C. No. 1 of 2001, in and by which the respondent-husband was directed to pay Rs.500 each in favour of his children, dismissed the said Petition. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the respondent. 3. It is not in dispute that the respondent-husband is employed as an Extension Officer in the Block Development Office. In view of the fact that the petitioner is also employed and getting an income, I am satisfied that no amount need be paid to her. However, it is brought to my notice that among the two children, the first is a daughter aged about 15 years, studying in 10th standard and the second is a son aged about 9 years, studying in 4th standard. Taking note of their age and the classes in which they are studying, I am of the view that ends of justice would be met by directing the respondent to pay a further sum of Rs.500 each to his children from the date of Petition till the disposal of the main O.P. To this extent, the Civil Revision Petition is ordered. Inasmuch as the F.C.O.P. is of the year 2001, the Family Court, Salem is directed to dispose of the same within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
