IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.121 of 2006 PANKAJ KUMAR SINHA …petitioner Versus MRS. KUSMANTI SINHA, Wife of Pankaj Kumar Sinha …opposite party ----------- 05. 24.08.2010 No one appears on behalf of the petitioner. Mr. Sinha learned Sr. counsel appears on behalf of opposite party. He draws attention of the Court to the order dated 21.12.2006 by which the following order was passed. “Put up after decision in Cr.Rev. No.466/06 which has been referred to Division Bench today. In the meantime the order of the trial court is modified to the extent that the interim monthly maintenance of Rs.3000/- is reduced to Rs.1500/- per month, which would be subject to final order being passed by this court.” It is stated that the petitioner has defaulted in making payment of the said amount as per the order of the Court. The petitioner seems to be a defaulter in carrying out the order of this Court. He has also defaulted in appearing before this Court. The order impugned grants only ad-interim maintenance. Final adjudication has to be made by the court below. Learned counsel for the opposite party at this stage submits that the matter is still pending consideration in the court below. For all these reasons, this Court declines to interfere with the order. However, it is observed that the learned court 2 below shall take adequate steps in accordance with law to ensure that the amount of ad-interim maintenance as granted under the order impugned is made available to the opposite party. The application is dismissed with the aforesaid observations. hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
