Respondent Dated: September 2, 2011 Hon’ble Servesh Kumar Gupta, J. Heard Sri Mohd. Azim, Advocate for the applicant. Having heard the learned counsel of the applicant–Dhruv Kumar Kohli, it appears that his wife Smt. Phool Mala has filed a maintenance petition u/s 125 Cr.P.C. No.170 of 2009 pending in the court of Family Judge, Udham Singh Nagar. This case is pending since middle of 2009 to this time and the applicant is not permitting the court to adjudicate the same due to his frequent absence. At one time, on 19.11.2009 due to absence of the applicant, the case was proceeded ex parte but on his request after six months, the case was again restored giving him an opportunity to produce his evidence and to contest the same but he was again absent. Now, this time, the learned Judge has rejected the application for providing an opportunity to contest the petition, whereagainst this revision has been filed. This revision is finally disposed of with the direction that the revisionist will pay Rs.6,000/- as cost to the respondent within 15 days from today and produce a certified copy of this Court’s order before the court below. If he pays such cost to the respondent, then the impugned order dated 20.8.2011 will stand set aside and an opportunity will be given to him to contest the petition. If the revisionist fails to pay such cost, then this revision will be deemed to have been dismissed. (Servesh Kumar Gupta, J.) 02.09.2011 Rajeev Dang
