THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No :1470 of 2009 ORDER: This Criminal Revision Case is directed against the order, dated 23-07-2009, passed in Crl.M.P.No.524 of 2007 in M.C.No.142 of 2006 on the file of the Family Judge-cum-IV Additional District & Sessions Judge, Vijayawada, whereby and whereunder the learned Additional Sessions Judge dismissed the application filed by the petitioner. 2. Heard the learned counsel appearing for both the parties. Perused the order impugned in the revision. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that in view of the findings recorded in O.S.No.82 of 2000, the application filed by the respondent herein seeking maintenance under Section 125 Cr.P.C. is not maintainable and therefore the maintainability of the Maintenance Case is required to be adjudicated as a preliminary issue. The same contention has been advanced before the learned IV Additional Sessions Judge. The learned Additional Sessions Judge proceeded to dismiss the application on the ground that there is no provision in the Criminal Court to try the maintainability of the Maintenance Case as a preliminary issue. I do not see any flaw in the order impugned in the revision. 4. Accordingly, Criminal Revision Case is dismissed at the stage of admission. However, the learned IV Additional District & Sessions Judge, Vijayawada is directed to dispose of M.C.No.142 of 2006 as expeditiously as possible, preferably within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. ____________________________ B.SESHASAYANA REDDY,J 08th September, 2009 Tsy
