Additional sessions judge, TR Naval, gave the direction dismissing the city resident's plea against a magisterial court's order to him to pay maintenance to his nine-year-old son.

The man had gone in appeal to the sessions court against the magisterial court's order arguing that a sum of Rs. 8,000 for maintenance of nine-year-old child is excessive as no record of expenditure on his education has been filed by his estranged wife.
