O R D E R

This revision petition has been filed challenging the order passed by the Family Court, Kozhikode in M.C. No.92/2016. 2. The petitioner is the father of the respondent minor child.

The respondent through her mother filed the maintenance case against the petitioner claiming maintenance under Section 125 of Cr.P.C. The Family Court, after trial, granted monthly maintenance at the rate of Rs.5,000/- to the respondent. It is challenging the said order that this revision petition has been filed.

3. I have heard Sri.R.Sudhish, the learned counsel for the petitioner, and Sri.E.Narayanan, the learned counsel for the respondent.

4. The paternity is not in dispute. The petitioner being the father of the respondent is legally and morally bound to maintain her. Admittedly, the petitioner is a coolie. At the time of filing the maintenance case, the respondent was aged 8 years. Considering the requirements of the respondent and the means and ability of the petitioner, the monthly maintenance of Rs.5,000/- granted by the Family Court appears to be very reasonable. Hence, I see no illegality or impropriety in the impugned order. Accordingly, this revision petition is dismissed.
