JUDGEMENT
SANDEEP MEHTA,J. -
(1.) These two revisions are directed against the order dated 25.04.2015 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge No.2,
Jodhpur Metropolitan in two appeals, one filed by Mohd. Rafique and the
other filed by Smt. Rahmat Bano and Mohd. Shafeeq. The appellate court
rejected both the appeals and affirmed the order dated 21.01.2014 passed
by the learned Metropolitan Magistrate, Jodhpur Metro in Criminal Case
No.455/2010.
(2.) The learned Metropolitan Magistrate, by the above order, had accepted the application filed by Smt. Rahmat Bano and Mohd. Shafeeq being the
wife and minor son respectively of Shri Mohd. Rafique under the
provisions of the Domestic Violence Act and directed that Mohd. Rafique
shall make payment of an amount of Rs. 1,000/ - per month to each of the
applicants in addition to the maintenance already being received by them
under the orders passed by different courts. Shri Mohd. Rafique was also
directed not to commit any domestic violence upon Smt. Rahmat Bano and
Mohd. Shafeeq.
(3.) The wife and the son, challenged the order passed by the learned Metropolitan Magistrate by filing an appeal in the Sessions Court on the
ground that the learned Magistrate, did not pass any order on the relief
claimed by them under Sections 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 of the Domestic
Violence Act and that, while treating the income of the respondent to be
Rs. 80,000/ - per month, he be directed to pay ?rd of the said amount to
them by way of monetary relief. Mohd. Rafique challenged the order passed
by the Magistrate in appeal claiming that the monetary relief granted to
the respondents was unjustified and excessive. His income was only Rs.
3,000/ - per month and his old aged parents were dependent on him. The claimants had already been awarded a sum of Rs. 4,000/ - per month by way
of maintenance in proceedings under Section 125 of the Cr.P.C. and thus,
the impugned order should be set aside. The appellate court, by its order
dated 25.04.2015, rejected both the appeals and affirmed the order dated
21.01.2014 passed by the learned Magistrate. Hence these revisions.;
