2. For the disposal of this petition, suffice it to say that the petitioner is the former husband of the 1st respondent; their marriage was solemnised on 20.08.2008 at the house of the 1st respondent at Vengola village in Perumbavoor. In the wedlock, the 2nd respondent was born, who is now 11 years old. At that time, the petitioner was employed abroad, in Dubai. To make a long story short, the relationship broke and the 1st respondent moved the Family Court, Muvattupuzha with M.C.No.14/2013, under Section 125(1) of the Cr.P.C. seeking maintenance. By Annexure- A1 order dated 08.05.2014, the Family Court allowed the petition by granting monthly maintenance at the rate of Rs.15,000/- to the 1st respondent and Rs.10,000/- to the 2nd respondent child. Aggrieved by the order, the petitioner moved this Court in revision, challenging the order of maintenance passe
