1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL REVISION APPLICATION NO. 272/2009 SYED AKRAM ALI S/O SYED SULAN ALI, VERSUS RUBINA BEGUM D/O SHAIKH ABDUL RASHEED Smt. A.N. Ansari, Advocate for applicant. CORAM : A.V. NIRGUDE, J. Date : 6th September, 2010. ORAL ORDER : 1 Heard. 2 The respondent’s Advocate is absent. Perused the judgment of the lower Court and also the interim order passed by this Court. This revision is filed against the ex-parte order passed by learned judge of the Family Court, Aurangabad dated 09/04/2009 in Petition No. E-98/2008 directing the applicant to pay a sum of Rs.1,000/- to the respondent / wife as monthly maintenance etc.. Admittedly, for quite some time, the case was pending before the lower Court. The applicant did not file his say and did not attend at the stage of recording of evidence. He neither adduced his evidence also nor he cross examined the respondent / wife. In view of this, the applicant 2 deserves an opportunity to oppose the application on merits. However, I am continuing the order passed by this Court dated 28/01/2010, directing him to pay maintenance of Rs.500/- per month as interim order, and as interim order passed by the Ld. Judge, Family Court, Auranabad in Petition No. E-98/2008. The judgment and order dated 09/04/2009 passed by ld. Judge, Family Court, Auranabad stands set aside. The case is remanded back to the Judge, Family Court, Aurangabad. The learned judge of the Family Court shall dispose of the petition No. E-98/2008 within six months from the date of receipt of the record and proceedings from this Court. As said above, in the mean time, the applicant shall pay Rs.500/- per month as maintenance to the respondent / wife. This order shall remain in force till disposal of petition No. E-98/2008. The revision stands disposed of. (A.V. NIRGUDE, J) ts k/
