Live LawThe Telangana High Court on Monday reiterated that the revisional Court has no jurisdiction to set aside the findings of facts recorded by a subordinate Court and substitute its own findings. The bench was hearing a criminal revision case filed by the petitioner-husband challenging the order of the Family Court which enhanced the maintenance amount on a petition filed filed by his wife and minor children in 2018 under Section 127 CrPC. The family court enhanced the maintenance ordered in 2010, from Rs.5,000/- to Rs.10,000/- per month to the respondent wife and Rs.5,000/- per month each to two respondents minor children. The counsel for petitioner husband argued that he has entered into a settlement before Lok Adalat and it was agreed by the respondent wife that the petitioner will pay Rs.5000/- to respondent wife and each minor children and there is no change of circumstances to enhance the amount therefore the family court erred in altering the maintenance.
