The opposite party No. 2. Smt. Akash Devi filed a maintenance case under section 125 Cr.P.C. before the Judicial Magistrate First Class, being maintenance case No.60 of 1993, Trial No. 595 of 1994. The learned Magistrate accorded maintenance of 500/- per month. Aggrieved by the aforesaid order of the Magistrate, the petitioner filed a revision. The revisional Court dismissed the revision with a cost of Rs. 1000/- to be paid to opposite party No. 2. This writ was admitted on 26.7.1999. This court directed that this application would be heard only on point of imposition of cost. No one appears for either of the parties. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case. I do find imposition of cost of Rs. 1000/- to be excessive and the same is reduced to Rs. 350/-. With the aforesaid modification in the cost imposed by the revisional court vide its order dated 19.3.1999 passed in Criminal revision no. 31 of 1995/ 19 of 1998, the application is dismissed.
