THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.706 of 2004 JUDGMENT: Respondents 1 and 2, who are the wife and child of the petitioner herein, respectively, filed M.C.No.68 of 2003 on the file of the Family Court, Visakhapatnam, against the petitioner herein claiming maintenance under Section 125 Cr.P.C. In the said M.C., as the petitioner did not evince any interest, he was set ex parte and an ex parte order was passed on 05.05.2003, directing him to pay maintenance to the respondents. Coming to know of the said fact, the petitioner herein filed M.P.No.404 of 2003 in the said M.C., before the Court below seeking to set aside the ex parte order, dated 05.05.2003. However, the same was dismissed by the Court below by an order, dated 03.12.2003, which is questioned in this Revision. This Court, while admitting this Criminal Revision Case on 14.12.2004, for obvious reasons refused to grant stay of all further proceedings in the said M.C. As of now, six years lapsed. In those circumstances, this Court is of the view that the said ex pate decree passed against the petitioner must have been executed. That apart, even as of now, the respondents were not served with the notice. For the foregoing reasons, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. ___________________________________ JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA 17th February 2011 DR
