1 Mpt IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE WRIT PETITION NO.4777 of 2010 Mr.Prasanjeet Shailendra Sarkar ... Petitioner versus State of Maharashtra & Anr ... Respondents ... Mr.R. Satyanarayanan for the petitioner. CORAM : D.G. KARNIK, J. DATED : 1st July 2010 P.C. 1. Heard. 2. A consent order was passed in a Marriage Petition between petitioner and respondent. By the consent order, petitioner was ordered to pay to the respondent a maintenance of Rs.1,500/- per month. It appears that petitioner did not pay the amount and therefore, respondent was required to file execution proceedings. In the execution proceedings, petitioner made an application that respondent had since enrolled herself as an advocate and does not require the maintenance and therefore he was not liable to pay. That application was rejected. Aggrieved petitioner is before this Court. It is settled principle of law that executing court cannot go behind the decree. In the circumstances, executing court could not have gone behind the decree and has rightly rejected the application. There is no merit in the writ petition which is hereby dismissed. (D.G. KARNIK,J.)
