ORDER
The Criminal Revision challenges the interim order passed in C.M.P.No.777 of 2026 on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate, Additional Mahila Court, Alandur, in pending M.C.No.23 of 2024.
2. The respondent was directed to pay a monthly maintenance of Rs.15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Thousand Only). The first petitioner petitioner has not challenged the quantum awarded by the trial Court. However, the first petitioner is aggrieved by the fact that she was directed to bear the school fees of the second petitioner to the tune of Rs.60,000/- (Rupees Sixty Thousand Only). According to the first petitioner, the total fee, including transport cost, is Rs.1,11,800/- (Rupees One Lakh Eleven Thousand Eight Hundred Only).
3. Heard the learned counsel for the respondent, who would submit that the respondent is earning only Rs.61,320/- (Rupees Sixty One Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty Only) after deductions.
4. Considering the status of the parties and the fact that the maintenance case is still pending before the learned Magistrate, this Court is of the view that the interest of justice would be met if the respondent is directed to bear Rs.75,000/- (Rupees Seventy Five Thousand Only), out of the total cost of Rs.1,11,800/- (Rupees One Lakh Eleven Thousand Eight Hundred Only) pending disposal of the maintenance case.
5. The amount already paid by the respondent shall be deducted out of the said amount. The balance amount shall be paid by the respondent to the first petitioner within a period of two (2) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
6. With the above modification, the Criminal Revision stands disposed of. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed. 22-09-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No dk Copy to The Judicial Magistrate, Additional Mahila Court Alandur.
