Revision petition

Dear Sir,

In RPFC case at high court maintainance for the kids was reduced from Rs. 25,000 to 20,000 per month per kid but maintanance is ordered for 25 years or till the end of their education.

The kids are now 14 and 17 years.

RPFC judgement/order date is 20 Dec 2023. Applied for copy on 2jan 2024. Delivered the judgement copy on 24Jan 2024.

Now please let me know

1. The last date to file the case for REVISION PETITION at high court as it is given 30 days from the date of order/judgement.

2.Can I go for revision petition on the ground that maintainance is for 18 yrs or give the kids to me, ( already filed G&WC for custody of the kids).

Thanks and regards.

Yes the time taken for obtaining the certified copies of the orders will be excluded for calculating the 30 days time period.

You can very well prefer an appeal or revision over the aggrieved orders.

If kids are handicapped or unmarried daughters or unable to serve themselves then you have to pay maintenance lifelong.

Thanks for the reply sir. Here kids are 2 able sons aged 14 and 17 yrs and are in 8th and 12 class. She has put both of them in hostel. She has given in writing not to allow me to access the kids in their school.

Mother is working as manager in national bank and having over 1 lakh salary and now kids have got share in the ancestors property. So why maintenance after 18yrs to them... please suggest sir...
