It appears that non-applicant (respondent no.1 herein ) had<\/p>\n<p>    approached the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Buldana by means of<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                             ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 13:57:44 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                          2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    Miscellaneous Criminal Application No.1\/2001 praying for maintenance<\/p>\n<p>    u\/s 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. By the judgment and<\/p>\n<p>    order dated     31st October 2002, the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate<\/p>\n<p>    Buldana      was pleased to order maintenance in favour of Ku. Rupali<\/p>\n<p>    Ravindra Patil,      aged about one year,      ( a minor ),          but rejected<\/p>\n<p>    maintenance in favour of applicant no.1 Sau.Kavita Ravindra Patil. The<\/p>\n<p>    applicant no.2       Ku.Rupali   was allowed maintenance @ Rs. 500 per<\/p>\n<p>    month.    The order passed by learned Chief Judicial Magistrate Buldana<\/p>\n<p>    was challenged by the non-applicant Ravindra Atmaram                       Patil by<\/p>\n<p>    Criminal Revision Application No.9\/2003; whereas         Sau.Kavita Patil also<\/p>\n<p>    challenged the order by filing Criminal Revision Application No.152\/2002.\n<\/p>\n<p>    Both the Revision Applications were decided by the learned Sessions<\/p>\n<p>    Judge, Buldana        by a common judgment delivered on 13th July 2004.\n<\/p>\n<p>    While Criminal Revision Application No.9\/2003           filed by non-applicant<\/p>\n<p>    Ravindra Atmaram Patil was dismissed; Criminal Revision Application<\/p>\n<p>    No.152\/2002       filed by Sau. Kavita Patil was partly allowed           and      her<\/p>\n<p>    husband was directed to pay maintenance to her             @     Rs. 400 \/- per<\/p>\n<p>    month     ; whereas order regarding payment of Rs. 500\/- per month to<\/p>\n<p>    Rupali Patil    was maintained.\n<\/p>\n<p>    3.         By this Revision Application, the      applicant       Ravindra Patil<\/p>\n<p>    challenged     the order granting   maintenance     in the sum of Rs. 400<\/p>\n<p>    Sau. Kavita Patil.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                   ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 13:57:44 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                 3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    4.          It is   contended by learned counsel on behalf of the revision<\/p>\n<p>    petitioner herein that Sau. Kavita had suppressed the fact that she is<\/p>\n<p>    gainfully employed as a teacher and earning Rs. 1800\/-per month as<\/p>\n<p>    salary since the year 2000, and, as such, she is not entitled to claim any<\/p>\n<p>    maintenance amount as it is necessary to establish that she was unable<\/p>\n<p>    to maintain herself.                 Learned counsel also submitted that the<\/p>\n<p>    Respondent Kavita Patil since had concealed the fact of her employment<\/p>\n<p>    though it is temporary, could not have been awarded maintenance @ Rs.\n<\/p>\n<p>    400\/-      per month.             It is further contended that applicant            is also<\/p>\n<p>    required to maintain his mother inasmuch as he is serving as a Junior<\/p>\n<p>    Clerk with District Treasury Office at Buldana.\n<\/p>\n<p>    5.          Per contra,           learned counsel for respondents supported the<\/p>\n<p>    impugned judgment and order passed by learned Sessions Judge,<\/p>\n<p>    Buldana.\n<\/p>\n<p>    6.          I have        gone through the impugned judgment                 as also the<\/p>\n<p>    judgment     by     the    learned        Chief   Judicial    Magistrate,        Buldana.\n<\/p>\n<p>    Considering the reasons for grant of maintenance amount to Sau.Kavita<\/p>\n<p>    Patil, it does appear that her employment which is in evidence on the<\/p>\n<p>    basis of admission by Smt.               Reeta Kamalchand Chavan, a witness<\/p>\n<p>    examined to prove that she was gainfully employed, is                    referred in the<\/p>\n<p>    impugned judgment.           It    does appear that after marriage between                the<\/p>\n<p>    parties,    just within nine months             she had to leave her matrimonial<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                          ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 13:57:44 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                           4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    home.       They had married on 5.2.1999 and it is alleged that she was<\/p>\n<p>    compelled to leave matrimonial home.            Under these circumstances,<\/p>\n<p>    assuming that she is gainfully employed in the school which opened in<\/p>\n<p>    the year 2000 as a teacher which, according to her Head Mistress, is a<\/p>\n<p>    temporary employment,        cannot by itself,        disentitle her to claim<\/p>\n<p>    maintenance.     Considering the fact that she is wife of a Junior Clerk in<\/p>\n<p>    the District Treasury Office and under compulsive              circumstances left<\/p>\n<p>    matrimonial home, there was no option for her              except to search for<\/p>\n<p>    employment in order to sustain herself and her child.             Nobody        can be<\/p>\n<p>    blamed for<\/p>\n<p>                  searching    and   availing   of subsistence allowance            in the<\/p>\n<p>    present circumstances, more so considering the growing rate of inflation<\/p>\n<p>    and rising prices. One must have sufficient maintenance to meet all basic<\/p>\n<p>    needs. According to learned counsel for the revision petitioner since she<\/p>\n<p>    suppressed the    fact of her    temporary    employment she is disentitled<\/p>\n<p>    from claiming maintenance.           I cannot agree with this submission<\/p>\n<p>    because it is a fact of     common knowledge that the applicant while<\/p>\n<p>    approaching the Advocate may be advised and may act on such advice<\/p>\n<p>    resulting    in non-disclosure that she was temporarily employed and<\/p>\n<p>    such fact    by itself would not disentitle her to claim maintenance from<\/p>\n<p>    her husband who had refused to maintain his wife and abandoned her<\/p>\n<p>    company within months after marriage.\n<\/p>\n<p>    7.          An identical    issue was considered            in Smt. Asha Anil<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                     ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 13:57:44 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                         5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    <a href=\"\/doc\/185177\/\">Deshmukh    vs. Anil   Mahadeorao Deshmukh<\/a> reported in 1996 Cr.L.J.\n<\/p>\n<p>    2751 (Bombay High Court ).       Under the        circumstances when in the<\/p>\n<p>    original proceeding the wife had        specifically     denied that she             was<\/p>\n<p>    gainfully employed as also her ability to support herself, it was held that<\/p>\n<p>    there was no element of deceit or cheating against the husband or the<\/p>\n<p>    Court which is an essential element          of    fraud      and there was no<\/p>\n<p>    suppression on the part of the wife either. It was particularly observed<\/p>\n<p>    that if wife was gainfully employed that would not disentitle                her from<\/p>\n<p>    initiating an action u\/s. 125 Cr.P.C. as she can still convince the court<\/p>\n<p>    that even after the employment she was unable to maintain herself.\n<\/p>\n<p>    Therefore, even assuming that the wife knew that she was gainfully<\/p>\n<p>    employed that would not come in her way of initiating an action under<\/p>\n<p>    section 125 Cr.P.C.    Thus   helpless women who has been forsaken by<\/p>\n<p>    her husband who        refused to maintain her, in such a case, even<\/p>\n<p>    assuming that she was employed, it cannot be presumed that she was<\/p>\n<p>    getting salary from the permanent employment                 and indeed that is<\/p>\n<p>    sufficient to maintain herself. The principle of fraud to non suite the<\/p>\n<p>    party on the basis of it is not attracted in the facts and circumstances<\/p>\n<p>    which are altogether different in proceedings for maintenance u\/s 125<\/p>\n<p>    Cr.P.C. That being so, no fault can be found with impugned judgment<\/p>\n<p>    and order by which respondent Kavita was granted maintenance in the<\/p>\n<p>    sum of Rs. 400\/- per month even            assuming that           she is gainfully<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                      ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 13:57:44 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                               6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    employed as a teacher at the salary of Rs. 1800 per month. It must be<\/p>\n<p>    borne in mind that she will have to get sufficient amount to                    maintain<\/p>\n<p>    herself     as well as    her child and       the additional       sum of Rs. 400\/-\n<\/p>\n<p>    payable     to her   by her husband would be supplementary                     necessary<\/p>\n<p>    income for       and her child to maintain themselves reasonably well<\/p>\n<p>    considering their standard of living as also bearing in mind the spiralling<\/p>\n<p>    inflation    and rising     prices   of       essential commodities.           Hence no<\/p>\n<p>    interference is called for with the impugned judgment and order.                    Hence<\/p>\n<p>    Revision Application is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<pre>                              ig                                    JUDGE\n\n    sahare\n                            \n      \n   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                         ::: Downloaded on - 09\/06\/2013 13:57:44 :::<\/span>\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bombay High Court Ravindra Atmaram Patil vs Kavita on 8 October, 2008 Bench: A.P.
