THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.9276 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner preferred the present Criminal Petition challenging the order dated 29.7.2011 made in Crl. Revision Petition No. 38 of 2011 on the file of the Principal Sessions Judge, Warangal, whereby, the learned Sessions Judge dismissed the revision petition filed by the petitioner herein. The 2nd respondent herein filed M.C. No. 1 of 2010 before the IV Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Warangal claiming maintenance. The trial Court, through order dated 21.3.2011 awarded an amount of Rs.6,000/- per month towards maintenance. Challenging the same, the petitioner preferred Crl. R.P. No. 38 of 2011 before the Principal Sessions Judge, Warangal. On 29.7.2011, when the petitioner herein was called absent, the learned Principal Sessions Judge dismissed the revision petition. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the lower appellate Court dismissed the revision petition without giving any opportunity to the petitioner to raise his objections or contentions. In view of the same, the lower appellate Court is directed to restore the Crl. R.P. No. 38 of 2011 to its file and to dispose of the same after affording opportunity of hearing to both the parties. The Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 29th September, 2011 pnb
