JUDGMENT

This criminal revision is directed against the order passed

in MC No.02 of 2017, dated 19.06.2017 on the file of the Family

Court, Sivagangai.

2.The respondent herein has filed a maintenance case

through his mother against the petitioner. The respondent’s mother

married the petitioner on 21.01.2007 at Sivagangai as per the

Hindu Rites and Customs and due to the wedlock, on 08.10.2009

the respondent was born and thereafter, due to matrimonial tiff, the

petitioner has filed a divorce petition against his wife (Premalatha)

and that was dismissed by the trial court and on appeal, the

petitioner got decree of divorce. After divorce, the petitioner has

not spent any amount for the welfare of his son (the respondent)

and hence, the respondent has filed maintenance petition against

the petitioner through his mother. In that petition, the lower court

has ordered a sum of Rs.6,000/- towards maintenance for the

respondent till the age of his majority. Aggrieved by the order of

the trial court made in MC No.02 of 2017, dated 19.06.2017, the

petitioner is before this court.
