IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.1003 of 2009 Basant Kumar Singh @ Rakesh Kumar Singh, son of Narayan Singh resident of Mohalla- Madhubani Tola Gandhi Nagar Ward No. 9, Police Station- K. Hat, District- Purnea. … petitioner. Versus 1. State Of Bihar 2. Shobha Devi wife of Basant Kumar Singh, Daughter of Digamber Singh at present residing at village- Basviti Police Station- Supaul, District Supaul. … Opposite parties. ----------- 2. 5.07.2011 This revision application is directed against the order dated 2.3.2009 passed by learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Purnea in Matrimonial Case No. 103 of 2006 by which, the petitioner has been directed to pay a sum of Rs.1500/- per month for maintenance and a composite Rs.3000/- as litigation cost. No one appears on behalf of the petitioner on repeated calls. Heard Mr. Chandrasen Prasad Singh, learned A.P.P. for the State who submits that impugned order is an interim maintenance to opposite party, namely, Shoba Devi, wife of the petitioner. This case has been filed to devoid the opposite party from her maintenance and this can be disposed of without waiting further for the petitioner. It appears from the material available on 2 record that the petitioner has filed Matrimonial Suit No. 103 of 2006 against his wife, Shobha Singh @ Shobha Devi. During the pendency of that suit a petition dated 21.6.2007 has been filed by respondent- opposite party no. 2 and the petitioner has also filed its rejoinder dated 3.8.2007. It appears that both the parties have been heard by learned Principal Judge and it is an admitted position that opposite party no. 2 is legally wedded wife of petitioner and she is unable to maintain herself. Considering the facts and circumstances, the petitioner has been directed to pay a sum of Rs.1500/- per month as interim maintenance along with a composite Rs.3000/- as litigation cost and I do not find any ground to interfere in the impugned order. This cri. revision application is accordingly dismissed. kanchan ( Amaresh Kumar Lal, J.)
