Marriage   is   admitted.     Separate   residence   is   also<\/p>\n<p>admitted.     The   wife   contended   that   the   husband   is   living   in<\/p>\n<p>adultery.   The husband, in the course of his examination before<\/p>\n<p>court   as   RW1,   admitted   that   he   has   begotten   a   child   in   his<\/p>\n<p>relationship with one Usha who was a neighbour.  The allegation<\/p>\n<p>of illicit intimacy against the petitioner is thus admitted by him<\/p>\n<p>as RW1.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>         3.    The   petitioner   offered   that   he   is   willing   to   maintain<\/p>\n<p>the  wife on   condition  that she  lives   with  him.    He,  at the  same<\/p>\n<p>time, raised a contention that she is living in adultery.  He raises<\/p>\n<p>a   further   contention   that   the   claimant\/wife   is   not   a   woman<\/p>\n<p>unable   to   maintain   herself.     The   parties   went   to   trial   on   these<\/p>\n<p>contentions.     The  claimant   examined   herself  as  PW1.    A  doctor<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">R.P.F.C.No.32\/2008                         2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>was   examined   as   PW2   to   prove   the   birth   of   the   child   for   the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner   in   the   said   Usha.     She   examined   another   witness   as<\/p>\n<p>PW3 on her side.  Ext.X1 was also marked on her side.<\/p>\n<p>       4.      The   petitioner   examined   himself   as   RW1.     The   child<\/p>\n<p>born  to  him  and  PW1   as  RW2  and   yet  another  witness  as RW3<\/p>\n<p>were   examined   in   an   attempt   to   prove   adultery.     The   learned<\/p>\n<p>Judge   of   the   Family   Court   came   to   the   conclusion   that   the<\/p>\n<p>claimant   has   succeeded   in   establishing   that   she   is   entitled   for<\/p>\n<p>maintenance   and   accordingly   proceeded   to   issue   the   impugned<\/p>\n<p>order   directing   payment   of   maintenance   from   the   date   of   the<\/p>\n<p>petition.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>       5.      The   petitioner   claims   to   be   aggrieved   by   the<\/p>\n<p>impugned   order.     What   is   the   grievance?     The   learned   counsel<\/p>\n<p>for the petitioner has been heard in detail.   The learned counsel<\/p>\n<p>for   the   petitioner,   first   of   all,   contends   that   the   finding   that   he<\/p>\n<p>has an adulterous relationship with one Usha is not established<\/p>\n<p>satisfactorily.     Less   said   about   this   contention   the   better.     The<\/p>\n<p>petitioner   as   RW1   was   constrained   to   admit   in   the   course   of<\/p>\n<p>cross-examination   that   the   said   Usha   given   birth   to   a   child   of<\/p>\n<p>which   he   is   the   father.     In   the   light   of   that   admission,   this<\/p>\n<p>contention need not detain this court any further.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">R.P.F.C.No.32\/2008                     3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      6.     Secondly,   it   is   contended   that   the   claimant\/wife   is<\/p>\n<p>living   in  adultery.    What   is  the   evidence?     The  learned   counsel<\/p>\n<p>for   the   petitioner   contends   that   the   petitioner   had   produced<\/p>\n<p>certain documents which would show that his wife used to write<\/p>\n<p>letters   to   some   young   men   in   the   neighbourhood.     The   wife<\/p>\n<p>denied   those   letters.     Those   letters   have   not   been   formally<\/p>\n<p>proved and the  petitioner, who produced those documents, was<\/p>\n<p>unable   to   formally   introduce   them   in   evidence   in   accordance<\/p>\n<p>with law.  How did he receive them?  From whose custody did he<\/p>\n<p>get   it?     All   questions   were   not   satisfactorily   explained.     He<\/p>\n<p>wanted   the   letters   to   be   sent   to   the   expert   for   scientific<\/p>\n<p>comparison.   The learned Judge of the Family Court indulgently<\/p>\n<p>allowed   the   said   request   also;   but   on   condition   that   the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner   must   pay   the   interim   maintenance   which   had   been<\/p>\n<p>directed   to   be   paid.     The   petitioner   challenged   that   order<\/p>\n<p>unsuccessfully   by   filing   a   writ   petition   before   this   court.<\/p>\n<p>Thereafter also he did not make the payments and therefore the<\/p>\n<p>letters   were   not   sent   to   the   expert.     No   attempt   was   made<\/p>\n<p>otherwise to formally introduce those letters into evidence.  RW3<\/p>\n<p>was   examined   to   prove   the   said   adulterous   relationship.     Even<\/p>\n<p>the   attempt   was   only   to   show   that   the   claimant\/wife   has   been<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">R.P.F.C.No.32\/2008                      4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>talking to some young men of the neighbourhood.  That cannot at<\/p>\n<p>all be reckoned as even an attempt to prove adultery.   The said<\/p>\n<p>contention raised must also hence fail.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>      7.     There   was   a   contention   that   the   claimant\/wife   is   not<\/p>\n<p>unable to maintain herself.  She tendered evidence as PW1.  It is<\/p>\n<p>by now trite that even the fact that the wife, after estrangement<\/p>\n<p>and separation, has been attempting to do some work to keep the<\/p>\n<p>body and soul together, is not a reason to come to a conclusion<\/p>\n<p>that   she   is  not  unable   to  maintain  herself.     There   is   significant<\/p>\n<p>absence of evidence to show that she is not a woman unable to<\/p>\n<p>maintain herself.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>      8.     The   contention   is  raised   before   me  that  the   wife   has<\/p>\n<p>certain   bank   accounts   in   which   the   petitioner   had   deposited<\/p>\n<p>amounts   and   which   amounts   were   withdrawn   by   her.     No<\/p>\n<p>satisfactory   evidence   has   been   introduced   in   support   of   that<\/p>\n<p>contention.  The said contention must also hence fail.<\/p>\n<p>      9.     Lastly and finally it is contended that the quantum of<\/p>\n<p>maintenance awarded is excessive.   The amount ordered is only<\/p>\n<p>Rs.600\/- per mensum.   I need not discuss this issue any further.<\/p>\n<p>The amount ordered is hardly sufficient for the lady to keep body<\/p>\n<p>and soul together.   In any view of the  matter, the challenge  on<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">R.P.F.C.No.32\/2008                        5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the   ground   that   the   amount   ordered   is   excessive   must   also   be<\/p>\n<p>rejected.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>       10.    It   is   impassionately   prayed   that   the   revision   petition<\/p>\n<p>may be  admitted.    To  consider   the  above   contentions,  I  believe<\/p>\n<p>that it will be harsh, nay cruel, to admit this revision petition and<\/p>\n<p>order   notice   to   the   petitioner   to   come   all   the   way   to   the   High<\/p>\n<p>Court, to engage a counsel and to contest the proceedings.   No<\/p>\n<p>worthwhile   contention   has   been   raised   before   me   which   can<\/p>\n<p>persuade   me   to   admit   this   revision   petition   and   extend   an<\/p>\n<p>unnecessary   and   vexatious   invitation   to   the   claimant\/wife   to<\/p>\n<p>come to this court to argue this revision petition.<\/p>\n<p>       11.    The   learned   counsel   for   the   petitioner   contends   that<\/p>\n<p>the   court   below   has   erred   grossly   in   directing   payment   of<\/p>\n<p>maintenance from the date of the petition.  The order must have<\/p>\n<p>been   only   to   pay   maintenance   from   the   date   of   the   order   of<\/p>\n<p>maintenance,   contends   the   learned   counsel   for   the   petitioner.<\/p>\n<p>The   maintenance   case   was   filed   as   early   as   in   2001   and   the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner   will   be   forced   to   face   a   huge   liability   now,   it   is<\/p>\n<p>contended.     The   learned   counsel   for   the   petitioner   draws   my<\/p>\n<p>attention to the stipulation of Section 125(2) Cr.P.C which states<\/p>\n<p>that the amount of maintenance shall be payable from the date of<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">R.P.F.C.No.32\/2008                         6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the   order   or   if   so   ordered,   from   the   date   of   the   application   for<\/p>\n<p>maintenance.     The   learned   counsel   for   the   petitioner   contends<\/p>\n<p>that   the   normal   rule   must   be   to   award   maintenance   from   the<\/p>\n<p>date of the order.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>       12.    A   reading   of   the   impugned   order   clearly   shows   that<\/p>\n<p>though   an   interim   direction   for   payment   of   maintenance   was<\/p>\n<p>ordered, the petitioner had not complied with that order.  Such a<\/p>\n<p>petitioner   cannot   be   heard   to   contend   that   the   maintenance<\/p>\n<p>ordered should take effect only from the date of the order.  That<\/p>\n<p>will   be   conceding   a   premium   for   persons   who   successfully<\/p>\n<p>protract   the   proceedings   and   who,   with   impunity,   do   not   make<\/p>\n<p>payments of amounts ordered as an  interim  maintenance.   This<\/p>\n<p>contention cannot also succeed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>       13.    It   follows   that   the   revision   petition   cannot   succeed.<\/p>\n<p>The same is dismissed.<\/p>\n<pre>\n\n\n\n\n\n                                                         (R.BASANT, JUDGE)\n\njsr\n\n\n                      \/\/ True Copy\/\/          PA to Judge\n\n\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">R.P.F.C.No.32\/2008    7<\/span>\n\n\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">R.P.F.C.No.32\/2008    8<\/span>\n\n\n         R.BASANT, J\n\n\n\n\n\n           C.R.R.P.No.\n\n\n\n\n\n              ORDER\n\n\n\n\n\n21ST DAY OF JULY 2006\n\n\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Sivan E.K. vs Mini on 8 February, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM RP(Family Court) No. 32 of 2008() 1.
