IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.2152 of 2008 CHANDAN SHARMA @ CHANDAN KUMAR SHARMA Versus SARIKA DEVI @ SARASWATI DEVI ----------- 2. 16.1.2009 Surendra/ In view of the fact that the wife opposite party had alone shown inclination to live with the husband petitioner and the husband petitioner was adamant in refusing the company of his wife, the approach of the court below in granting interim maintenance under section 125 Cr.P.C. does not suffer from any error. It has to be noted that the husband petitioner had not only adopted hostile approach towards the wife opposite party but in fact also did not choose to remain present in court at the time of hearing of the case. That being so, an order of interim maintenance cannot be interfered. The court below, however, will take steps for an early disposal of the maintenance case. With the aforementioned observation, this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.)
