ORDER

This revision is filed against the order dated 24.05.2017 in MC No.517/2015 on the files of the Family Court, Thrissur. As per the impugned order, the Family Court directed the revision petitioner to pay maintenance to the respondents @ Rs.5,000/- and Rs.4,000/- respectively. Aggrieved by the same, this revision is filed.

2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing for the respondents.

3. The counsel for the revision petitioner submitted that, the petitioner is now completely bedridden and he is not in a position to pay maintenance and there is no source of income to the revision petitioner. If that is the case, the petitioner can approach the Family Court with appropriate application under Section 127 Cr.P.C/146 BNSS to cancel the order. As far as the impugned order is concerned, I see no reason to interfere with the same. The Family Court considered the matter in detail and thereafter passed the impugned order. The quantum of maintenance awarded is also reasonable.

4. Section 125 Cr.P.C. is a benevolent provision to protect the rights of women who are abandoned by their husbands. In Bhuwan Mohan Singh v. Meena and Others [2014 KHC 4455] , the Apex
