JUDGMENT : Sureshwar Thakur, J. 1. The instant Criminal Revision Petition stands directed by the petitioner herein against the impugned verdict recorded by the learned Sessions Judge, Sirmaur District at Nahan, H.P. in Cr. Appeal No. 80-Cr.A/10-of 2016, whereby, he affirmed the quantification, of, interim per mensem maintenance amount adjudicated, by the learned trial Court, vis-a-vis the petitioner, comprised in a sum of Rs.7000/- per mensem, as also, affirmed the verdict of the learned trial court whereby, it without the permission of the Court, restrained the husband, from operating bank locker bearing No.434 held with the Canara Bank. 2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, submits, that the quantification of ad interim per mensem maintenance allowance, as done, by the learned trial Court and affirmed by the learned Appellate Court, being not based upon a proper appreciation of the relevant and germane material existing on record. He contends that the respondent is working, at, Gray Matter Software Services Pvt. Ltd. Banglore and his monthly carry home salary, is, Rs.62,650/-, thereupon, he contends that the petitioner is entitled, for, ad interim per mensem maintenance allowance, at a rate of Rs.15,000/- per month. 3. A perusal of the records, reveal of the respondent in his reply furnished to the apposite petition contending, of, his monthly salary being Rs.28,000/- and after deductions, his carry home salary being Rs.22,500/-. However, he has not brought on record any document in support of his aforesaid plea. On the other hand, the respondent has placed on record a document, holding, revelations, of, after making necessary deductions, the respondent's carry home salary being comprised in a sum of Rs.62,650/- per month, hence, the plea of the respondent, of, his carry home salary being Rs.22,500/- per month, appears, to be illusory and is also not tenable. The petitioner has also placed on record a rent deed appertaining, to, the flat occupied for residence by the respondent at Banglore, with revelations occurring therein, of the respondent paying rent vis-a-vis the aforesaid premises, comprised in a sum of Rs. 17,500/- per month. However, yet the revelations occurring in the aforesaid document qua the respondent's carry home salary , do not, enable her to claim interim per mensem maintenance in a sum, higher than the one, awarded by the learned trial Court, given hers rather placing reliance upon material directly appertaining, to the carry home salary of the respondent.
17,500/- per month. However, yet the revelations occurring in the aforesaid document qua the respondent's carry home salary , do not, enable her to claim interim per mensem maintenance in a sum, higher than the one, awarded by the learned trial Court, given hers rather placing reliance upon material directly appertaining, to the carry home salary of the respondent. Consequently, placing implicit reliance thereon, the interim per mensem maintenance vis-a-vis the petitioner, is hiked in a sum of Rs.11,000/- per mensem. 4. Furthermore, bearing in mind that the petitioner holdings no independent income sufficient to support herself, besides for enabling her to bear her personal expenditures, also given her status, the ad interim per mensem maintenance, as awarded, by the learned trial Judge concerned for her, is hiked in a sum of Rs.11,000/- per mensem (Rs. Eleven thousand only). 5. For the foregoing reasons, the instant petition is allowed and the order impugned here at is modified and the respondent is directed, to, pay interim per mensem maintenance allowance, to, the petitioner in a sum of Rs.11,000/- P.M., (Rs. Eleven thousand only), from, the date of the petition. The parties are directed to appear before the learned trial Court on 4th January, 2018. All pending applications also stand disposed of. Records be sent back forthwith.
