IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.175 of 2009 JANAK KUMARI DEVI, WIFE OF SRI VIVEKANAND TIWARY, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE KHORAITHA, P.S. BIKRAM, DISTRICT PATNA………………………………………….……….PETITIONER VERSUS 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE LAW DEPARTMENT, PATNA, BIHAR 2. VIVEKANAND TIWARY, SON OF SHRI GIRISHNANDAN TIWARY, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE SHEONAN, P.S. JEHANABAD, DISTRICT JEHANABAD, PRESENTLY POSTED AS PROFESSOR, IN THE DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY, RAM DAYALU SINGH COLLEGE, MUZAFFARPUR 3. THE PRINCIPAL, RAM DAYALU SINGH COLLEGE, MUZAFFARPUR……………………………………………….….RESPONDENTS ----------- 3. 09.02.2010 Heard counsel for the parties. This criminal writ application is highly misconceived. The prayers made by the petitioner in paragraph 1 of the writ application are as follows :- a. That the Respondent no.2, Vivekanand Tiwary be directed to make compliance of the order of the Principal Judge of the Family Court dated 1.4.1995 regularly without any let(sic) and hindrance whereby Rs.500/- maintenance cost has been awarded in favour of the Petitioner and Rs.500/- was awarded to her minor son. b. That the Respondent no.2 be further directed to clear the total arrear amount of the maintenance which has accumulated approx. to the tune of Rs.1,26,000/- till December 2008 at once and in one go. c. That the amount of maintenance cost Rs.500/- as has been fixed by the Principal Judge of the Family Court long back appears to be a paltry sum - 2 - hence be increased keeping in view the miseries of the deserted wife in as much as the high rocketing Price Index. d. That alternatively the Respondent No.3, Principal, Ram Dayalu Singh College, Muzaffarpur be directed to make deduction from the Salary of the Respondent no.2, a sum of Rs.10,000/- per month and pay it to the Petitioner so long the total arrear amount of the maintenance is not fully cleared.” It is beyond comprehension of this Court as to how a criminal writ application can lie for the above prayers. The writ application accordingly, is dismissed with a cost of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand) which shall be adjusted from the amount of the maintenance payable to the petitioner by her husband. Let a copy of this order be sent to the Principal Judge, Family Court, Patna in connection with Case No. 35(M)90 for its compliance. B.T (J. N. Singh, J.)
