Kamla Devi vs Rajmal Singh : 2012 Cri.L,J. 5006 : 2014 (10) RCR(Cri) 931 : 2013 (1) DMC 683 : 2012 (5) LRC 293 (DEL)
Section 125-Enhancement of maintenance-Prayer for more enhancement in maintenance to have same kind of living standard-Memo of parties show that petitioner is residing in Delhi and responding is living in a village in Haryana-Apart form maintenance of Rs. 2000, the petitioner is receiving Rs. 4000 as honorarium by working in Anganwadi Centre-Maintenance awarded to petitioner cannot be termed as too low as to put her on verge of vagrancy and destitution-Impugned order warrants no interference-Petition dismissed.
Held : The memo of parties shows that while respondent is residing in Delhi in Shahbad Mohammad Pur which can be considered to be an urbanized Village, the respondent is living in Village Lakhan Majra , Hair Pana, Distt. Rohtak, Haryana. Obviously, the respondent is attending his duty in Delhi from his village either as daily passenger or must be staying in barrack in exigency to perform his duty to be discharged by him. It is not the case of petitioner that respondent is having luxuries of life of which she has been deprived.
The petitioner, apart from the honorarium being received by her, has been awarded Rs.2,000/- per month towards maintenance which cannot be termed as too low so as to put the petitioner on the verge of vagrancy and destitution.
As the learned ASJ has already enhanced the amount of maintenance from Rs.1,000/- to Rs.2,000/-, I do not find any illegality, infirmity or impropriety in the impugned order passed by the Judge, Family Court, Dwarka, New Delhi. The impugned order, therefore, does not warrant interference by this Court in exercise of inherent jurisdiction.
