C.R.No.2498 of 2009 #1# IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R.No.2498 of 2009 Date of Order: 4.5.2009 Jasbir Singh .....Petitioners Versus Paramjit Kaur Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. K.S. Hissowal, Advocate for the petitioner-husband. JASWANT SINGH,J (ORAL) Petitioner-husband/Judgment Debtor has laid challenge to order dated 28.3.2009 (Annexure P.2) passed by learned Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class,Ludhiana whereby on account of failure on the part of the petitioner- husband to pay the outstanding dues towards maintenance awarded to the respondent-wife under Sections 125 and 127 Cr.P.C, learned Executing Court has directed the attachment of 1/3rd of the salary of the petitioner. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner-husband. Parties have been married more than 10 years back. A perusal of the impugned order shows that a demand draft of Rs.3500/- only was paid by the petitioner to the respondent. It is not disputed that an amount of Rs.50,300/- was due to be paid by the petitioner-husband to the respondent-wife. Vide the impugned order, salary of the petitioner-husband to the extent of 1/3rd has been directed to be attached till the satisfaction of the aforesaid amount C.R.No.2498 of 2009 #2# since the petitioner has failed to pay the outstanding amount determined as per maintenance decree. In my opinion, learned trial Court has rightly ordered the attachment of the salary of the petitioner to the extent of 1/3rd. No good ground is made out to interfere with the observations made by the learned trial court in the impugned order. Dismissed. May 04, 2009 ( JASWANT SINGH ) manoj JUDGE
