Due to the difference of opinion, both of them are living separately. The respondent/husband filed a petition in H.M.O.P.No.57 of 2023 for dissolving the marriage and the petitioner/wife has filed a petition in H.M.O.P.No.128 of 2022 for restitution of conjugal rights before the Subordinate Court, Sattur, Virudhunagar District.

4.In the meanwhile, the petitioner/wife has filed an application in I.A.No.1 of 2023 in H.M.O.P.No.128 of 2022 seeking interim maintenance. The learned Subordinate Judge, Sattur, Virudhunagar District vide order, dated 30.09.2024, had ordered Rs.20,000/- as maintenance per month. Challenging the said order, the respondent/husband has filed a revision petition before this Court in C.R.P(MD)No.2600 of 2024 and the petitioner/wife has also filed a revision petition in C.R.P(MD)No.739 of 2025 before this Court seeking enhancement of the maintenance amount. This Court, vide order, dated 08.07.2025, had disposed of the petition filed by the respondent/husband by reducing the maintenance amount from Rs.20,000/- to Rs.15,000/- per month and had dismissed the petition filed by the petitioner/wife seeking enhancement of maintenance amount. Thereafter, the respondent/husband has filed an application in I.A.No.12 of 2025 in I.A.No.1 of 2023 in H.M.O.P.No. 128 of 2022 to set aside the order passed in I.A.No.1 of 2023, dated 30.09.2024. The learned Subordinate Judge, Sattur, Virudhunagar District, vide impugned order, dated 17.11.2025, had allowed the said application and set aside the order passed in I.A.No.1 of 2023 in H.M.O.P.No.128 of 2022, dated 03.09.2024. Challenging the same, the present Civil Revision Petition has been filed.

5.The learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that in I.A.No.1 of 2023 in H.M.O.P.No.128 of 2022, the trial Court has fixed the interim maintenance as Rs.20,000/-. Challenging the same, the petitioner/wife and the respondent/husband has filed revision petitions and this Court, vide order, dated 08.07.2025, has passed the following order:

9.The petitioner / husband claims that the respondent / wife is employed as Assistant Professor and the same was suppressed before the trial Court. However, even assuming that she is employed in a private management, salary was not established before the trial Court. In view of the above, it appears that as on date, the petitioner is irregularly paying the interim maintenance. However, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court reduces the maintenance amount to Rs. 15,000/-. The petitioner is directed to pay Rs.15,000/- as monthly maintenance from 07.07.2025 onwards and the trial Court is directed to dispose of both H.M.O.P.Nos.57 of 2023 and 128 of 2022, within a period of six [6] weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order."
