O R D E R
This revision is preferred against the order of the
Family Court, Palakkad in M.C.No.731/2006. The family
court awarded Rs.1,500/= to the wife and Rs.1,000/= to the
child per month. It is against that decision, the husband has
come up before this Court.
2. Heard the learned counsel for both sides. The family
court had found that there was reasonable cause for the wife
to live separately which is a finding on fact without any
mistake and therefore I am not inclined to interfere with the
said finding.
3. The only question to be determined is regarding the
quantum. Revision petitioner is a technically qualified man
and he has been working in Nelliampathi, Bangalore and
Thachanpara dealing with tissue culture. The last place is in
Thachanpara. His argument is to the effect that while he was
working in Bangalore, he met with an accident and on
account of which he sustained head injury and therefore it

has affected his concentration. It is not a job of continuity
but it is seen that he is working with different private
institutions.
4. Taking into consideration all these facts, I am
inclined to show little leniency by reducing the
maintenance to the wife to Rs.1,200/= and that of the child
to Rs.800/=.
5. In the result, the revision petition is disposed of by
refixing the quantum of maintenance to the wife at
Rs.1,200/= and the child at Rs.800/= per month both payable
from the date of petition and the husband is directed to pay
the same. If any amount is in deposit or paid, that shall be
given credit to.
Disposed of accordingly.
