IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Criminal Revision No. 67 of 2011 Smt. Sobha Rana ….Revisionist. Versus State of Uttarakhand and another …Respondents. Present : Sri Parikshit Saini, Advocate for the revisionist. Sri M.A. Khan, Brief Holder for the State of Uttarakhand. Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. (oral) Heard Sri Parikshit Saini, Advocate for the revisionist as well as Sri M.A. Khan, Brief Holder for the State of Uttarakhand. An application was moved by the revisionist under Section 12 read with Sections 19, 20, 22 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 against respondent no. 2 in which as an interim measure ` 5,000/- per month was awarded as maintenance. This was challenged by respondent no. 2 in appeal. In appeal maintenance was reduced from ` 5,000/- to ` 4,000/-per month vide order dated 2.2.2011. It is this order which has been challenged by the revisionist in the present criminal revision. Since it is only against an interim order, by which maintenance awarded by the trial court has been reduced, this Court does not find any just reason for interference in the matter. Criminal Revision is accordingly dismissed. However, it is made clear that any observations which have been made by the lower appellate court while 2 reducing the maintenance from ` 5,000/- to ` 4,000/- will not affect the final decision by the trial court, which will be examined on its merits. No order as to costs. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) 19.4.2011 Avneet
