Sessions Judge, Baramati dismissing the Criminal Revision Application filed by the petitioner husband. 3, The respondent wife filed an application in the Court of Judicial Magistrate, Daund for maintenance under section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure against the petitioner. The petitioner resisted the application contending that respondent was not his legally wedded wife. After recording of the evidence, learned Magistrate held that the respondent was the legally wedded wife of the petitioner and directed the petitioner to pay maintenance amount of Rs.250/- from the date of the application. That order was impugned by the petitioner by filing a revision which was dismissed. Whether the respondent is the legally wedded wife of the petitioner or not is a question of fact which on appreciation of the evidence has been held against the petitioner by the two courts below. The concurrent finding of fact recorded by the two courts below, in the absence of any perversity, is not open for challenge in a writ petition. Learned counsel for the petitioner was unable to point out in perversity in the decision of the two courts below. 4. Writ Petition is dismissed summarily. (D.G. KARNIK,J.)
