O R D E R
This revision is preferred against the order of the Family
Court, Kozhikode in M.C.282/07. The main dispute is only
regarding the quantum. The respondent is working abroad
and on that basis the Family Court has awarded Rs.2,000/- as
maintenance. The learned counsel for the revision petitioner
would contend before me that he is only a manual worker
therein and his income is only sufficient for his existence
there. I am not prepared to accept that contention as such.
But there are cases where people work in difficult conditions in
gulf countries as well. Taking into consideration those aspects
I am inclined to show a slight leniency by decreasing the
maintenance amount by Rs.200/-. Therefore the R.P.(F.C.) is
disposed of by modifying the order of maintenance from
Rs.2,000/- to Rs.1,800/- per month payable from the date of
petition. The amount, if any, paid or deposited shall be taken
credit to.
M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE.
