IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.448 of 2008 AMARDEO SAHANI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 3 9.4.2009 The petitioner is aggrieved by order dated 6.12.2001 passed ex-parte in Trial No.472 of 2001 arising out of Misc.Case No.9 of 2000 under section 125 Cr.P.C. whereby the learned trial court directed the petitioner to pay a sum of Rs.400/- per month to the Opposite party as maintenance. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in fact the complainant Kalwa Devi filed a case under section 498A of the Penal Code. Subsequently some understanding was reached between the parties and in pursuance of which the petitioner’s father executed a sale deed in respect of 7 Kathas of land in favour of Opposite party no.2 Kalwa Devi towards her maintenance and living. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he had no notice about the maintenance case and as such he could not appear and bring the aforesaid document on record. It appears that the impugned order was passed on 6.12.2001 and the instant revision application has been filed on 5.5.2008 after lapse of more than 6 years. In this view of the matter, I am not inclined to condone the delay in filing of this revision application and as such this revision application is dismissed on this score alone. 2 KHAN However, it would be open to the petitioner to file an application under section 127 Cr.P.C. that hence onward in view of the change circumstances, he may not be liable to pay any maintenance.
