ORDER
The Civil Revision Petition is filed against the order dated 23.06.2026 passed in IA.No.2 of 2026 in HMOP.No.256 of 2024 on the file of the Family Judge, Family Court, Sivagangai.
2. The revision petitioner is the husband. The 1st respondent is the wife and respondents 2 and 3 are children of the petitioner. The petitioner filed HMOP.No.256 for 2024 seeking for dissolution of marriage on the ground of cruelty against his wife.
3. During the pendency of the divorce petition, the 1st respondent/wife filed a petition under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act seeking interim maintenance for herself and her two minor children in IA.No.2 of 2026. The 1st respondent prayed a sum of Rs.30,000/- toward maintenance for herself and her two children. Since the

C.R.P(MD)No.2451 of 2026 petitioner/husband denied the same, the trial Court ordered only a sum of Rs.3,000/- each, totally a sum of Rs.9,000/- to the respondents and also directed to pay a sum of Rs.1000/- for expenses of the proceedings.
4. The petitioner says that he is earning only a sum of Rs.15,000/- and he has to eke out his livelihood and also to look after the medical treatment of his parents, for which the amount is not sufficient. He further stated that he had already sent money earned from working abroad to his wife. Hence, he is not able to pay the money.
5. Though the respondents claimed a sum of Rs.30,000/- towards maintenance for herself and the children, the trial Court, after taking into consideration the objection made by the petitioner/husband allowed a sum of Rs.3000/- each towards interim maintenance to the wife and children, which is very meager. The trial Court also granted a sum of Rs.1,000/- towards expenses for the proceedings. This Court finds there is no illegality in the order and there is no ground to allow the Civil Revision Petition and the same is liable to be dismissed.
