DATE: 10th January,2008. P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. The petitioner-wife has filed a petition for maintenance under the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act before the Family Court and a decree was passed against the respondent on 6.12.2004. 2. The learned Counsel for the petitioner makes a statement that the petitioner has filed Regular Darkhast No.216 of 2005 for execution of the decree. According to him, that petition is still pending and the respondent has not made payment. The petitioner has filed this Contempt Petition on the ground that the respondent has not complied with the decree and judgment passed bythe Family Court. 3. It is a well settled position of law that when the specific procedure has been prescribed for execution of the decree of the Civil Court, the decree may be got executed by following that procedure. Contempt Petition cannot be a substitute for that procedure for execution of the decree. Therefore, I find no reason to take any action on this Contempt Petition. The Contempt Petition stands dismissed. (J.H.BHATIA,J.) (J.H.BHATIA,J.) (J.H.BHATIA,J.)
