2.The petitioner herein had filed H.M.O.P.No.22 of 2018 before the Sub Court, Vedasandur, for the relief of divorce on the ground of cruelty. Pending divorce application, the wife had filed I.A.No.53 of 2019 seeking Rs.30,000/per month as interim monthly maintenance. The Sub Court, Vedasandur, after considering the submissions on either side has directed the petitioner herein to pay a sum of Rs.5,000/- per month as interim maintenance. Challenging the same, the present revision petition has been filed.

3.A perusal of the records indicate that the petitioner/husband is a Tailor by profession and the trial Court after considering the evidence on record has arrived at a finding that the petitioner has to pay a sum of Rs.5,000/- per month.
