My wife is filing revision one after another for increasing maintenance. My wife is filing revision one after another for increasing maintenance. Please clarify what is the criteria for revision and how frequently my wife can file, as my wife has been awarded maintenance under section 125 crpc and I have been paying it monthly. Next month marks a year since the judgement was passed, and I am wondering if my wife can file a revision to increase the amount again because one year has passed.
Asked from: Madhya Pradesh
If the amount of maintenance fixed by the court is insufficient in proportion to your income, status, and your wife’s needs, she can file for a revision. However, if the court is not satisfied and refuses to alter the amount of maintenance, another revision is not maintainable. Additionally, there is no provision for revision against the order passed in revision.
However, the matter of maintenance is different from other legal proceedings. If circumstances change and your wife becomes entitled to more maintenance than awarded, she can file a revision to increase the quantum of maintenance. This is independent of the judgement of the previous revision, so the number of revision applications depends on the changes in circumstances.
