Jitendra Kumar, J.—The present Criminal Revision petition has been preferred against the impugned order dated 12.12.2018, passed by learned Principal Judge, Family Court, East Champaran at Motihari in Maintenance Case No. 66 of 2012, whereby learned Principal Judge has directed the opposite party/Aszad Ansari to pay Rs.1,500/- per month to the petitioner no.1, who is wife of the opposite party, towards her maintenance since the date of the order i.e. 12.12.2018 and to pay Rs.5,000/- to her towards the litigation cost. However, learned Family Court has not passed any order in regard to maintenance to the petitioner no.2, who is daughter of the petitioner no.1 and opposite party, though she was also petitioner no.2 before the Family Court.

2. As per the maintenance petition filed by the petitioners before the Family Court, the petitioner no.1 Hasina Khatoon was married with opposite party, Aszad Ansari in the year 2007 as per Islamic Rites and Customs. After the marriage, she joined the matrimonial home of her husband and out of the wedlock, petitioner no.2 Jamuna was born who was 4 years old at the time of maintenance petition before the Family Court. As per further averment made in the maintenance petition, after the marriage, demand of additional dowry of Rs.2,00,000/- started on the part of the opposite party/husband and on account of non-fulfillment of the same, she was subjected to cruelty and was finally ousted from the matrimonial home. Hence, a criminal case under Section 498A IPC was lodged in the Court of learned S.D.J.M. As per further averment, opposite party/husband runs a boutique shop in Bombay earning Rs.30,000/- per month and he has also four bighas of agricultural land earning annual income in lacs. As per further statement of the petitioner/wife, the opposite party has also a shop at his home. The petitioners had sought Rs.20,000/- per month towards their maintenance.
