O R D E R

H.G.RAMESH, J. (Oral):

¶21

This revision petition by the husband is directed against the judgment dated 26^th October 2011 passed by the Family Court, Mysore, in Crl.Misc.No.176/2010. By the impugned judgment, the Family Court has enhanced the monthly maintenance payable to the respondent - wife from Rs.500/- to Rs.2,500/-.

¶22

I have heard the learned Counsel for the parties and perused the impugned judgment. The earlier maintenance of Rs.500/- was fixed in the petition that was filed in the year 2004.

¶23

On the facts of the case, in my opinion, the enhancement of maintenance from Rs.500/- to Rs.2,500/- cannot be said to be erroneous to warrant interference under the revisional jurisdiction of this Court under Section 19(4) of the Family Courts Act ,

¶24

¶25

RPFC.No.21/2012

¶26

The revision petition is devoid of merit and it is accordingly dismissed. In view of dismissal of the revision petition, I.A.No.1/2012 filed for interim stay also stands dismissed.

¶27

Revision Petition dismissed.
