IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.O.C.P. No.117 of 2005 Date of Decision: 19.12.2006. Ranju Bala ....Petitioner. Versus Mukesh Kumar ...Respondent. CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Surya Kant. Present:- Mr.P.P.S.Duggal,Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.Sandeep Khunger,Advocate, for the respondent. **** SURYA KANT, J.(ORAL) In compliance to the order dated December 05,2006, the respondent has been arrested and produced before this Court. Learned counsel for the petitioner has placed on record certified copies of the various orders passed by the Executing Court and learned Additional District Judge, Ferozepur, in order to show that the arrears of interim maintenance amounting to Rs.83,500/- have since been paid/deposited by the respondent before the Executing Court, though in various installments except a sum of Rs.714/-, which the respondent has brought in cash, however, the same not having been received by learned counsel for the petitioner, he undertakes to deposit the same on the next date of hearing before the Executing Court at Ferozepur. C.O.C.P. No.117 of 2005 -2- Upon depositing the aforesaid amount there shall remain no balance to be paid by the respondent. Having regard to the fact that the respondent has finally complied with the order passed by the Matrimonial Court and keeping in view the fact that these contempt proceedings have arisen out of an unfortunate matrimonial dispute, I am inclined to take a lenient view. Consequently, it is directed that the respondent be released forthwith. This petition is also accordingly disposed of with a direction to the respondent to deposit the balance amount of Rs.714/- before the Executing Court on the next date of hearing or before Jan 31, 2007, whichever is earlier, failing which, the petitioner shall be entitled to get these proceedings revived and in that event the respondent shall also be liable to pay Rs.15,000/- as costs to the petitioner in the first instance. Rule discharged. (SURYA KANT) December 19,2006. JUDGE Reema
