ORDER

The husband came up in revision against the order of maintenance passed by the Family Court to his two children @ Rs.5,000/- each and to his wife @ Rs.8,000/- per month. Admittedly, the husband/ revision petitioner is doing a business of a chicken stall, both wholesale and retail.

2. The revision petitioner had also appeared through video conferencing and admitted that he is maintaining fifteen employees for the conduct of the said business. But, according to the wife there were thirty employees under him. This would show the volume of the business he was doing at the time when the application was submitted. He also maintains another two wives. Necessarily, the wife and children are entitled to a decent life, which they have accustomed to while in the company of her husband, the revision petitioner. The amount ordered by the Family Court is only a meagre amount of Rs.8,000/- to the wife and Rs.5,000/- each to the two children, the bare minimum, required for their livelihood. Hence, there is no reason to interfere with the abovesaid order.

The RP(FC) will stand dismissed accordingly.
