VIDE this petition filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., the petitioner -wife seeks modification of order dated 18.2.2012 passed by the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ambala granting maintenance allowance to the tune of Rs.3,000/ - as also order dated 17.1.2013 passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Ambala whereby her revision petition was partly allowed and amount of maintenance allowance was enhanced to Rs.6,000/ - per month.

(2.)
