Bombay High Court

SHAIKH IRFAN S/O. SHAIKH PASHAversusNASREEN BEGUM W/O. SHAIKH IRFAN AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The Family Court's reasoning in granting maintenance was correct and no error was found, therefore the revision is dismissed.

Summary

The husband filed a criminal revision challenging a Family Court order that granted monthly maintenance of Rs.3,000 to his wife and Rs.1,000 each to two children, effective from the petition filing date of 3 April 2018. The revision application, filed after a delay, was condoned by the High Court. Upon reviewing the impugned order, the Court found the Family Court's reasoning for awarding maintenance to be correct and free of error. Consequently, the Court held that there was no ground for interference under its revisional jurisdiction. The revision application was therefore dismissed.

Issues considered

Whether the Family Court's order granting maintenance to the wife and children is legally valid and free of error.
Whether the delay in filing the revision application warrants dismissal or condonation.

                                    DATE : 20 August 2026


                P. C. :-

                1.            Heard.


                2.            For the reasons stated in the application, delay in

                filing the revision application is condoned. Criminal Application

                No.3489/2019 is, accordingly, disposed of.


                3.            Revision Application is taken up for final hearing.


                4.            The applicant/ husband is challenging the judgment

                and order dated 11.03.2019 passed by the learned Family Court,

                Nanded, in Petition No.E-46/2018 thereby, granting maintenance

                of Rs.3000/- per month to respondent No.1/wife and Rs.1000/-
                                       *2*                   914appln3489o19


      per month each to respondent Nos.2 and 3/ children from the

      date of filing of the petition i.e. 03.04.2018.


      5.           With the assistance of the learned advocates

      appearing for the respective parties, I have perused the impugned

      order. The reasoning given by the Family Court for arriving at

      conclusion to grant compensation to the respondents, is correct

      and proper. There is no error in the impugned order. No

      interference in revisional jurisdiction is warranted. The revision

      is devoid of merit. Hence, the Criminal Revision Application is

      dismissed.
