C.R NO. 1518 OF 2004 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R NO. 1518 OF 2004 DECIDED ON : 27.03.2009 Sukhdev Singh ...Petitioner versus Harjit Kaur ...Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? Present : Mr. Gurdeep Singh, Advocate for Mr. Mohd. Yousaf, Advocate, for the petitioner. SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) This revision petition is directed against the order dated 23.02.2004 passed by the learned Additional District Judge, Sangrur, granting maintenance @ Rs.2000/- per month to the respondent-wife, besides litigation expenses of Rs.3000/-. While admitting this revision petition, this Court passed the following order on 23.03.2004 : “ Contends that the learned trial Judge has himself observed that Harjit Kaur had contracted a second marriage with Gurmail Singh. On that C.R NO. 1518 OF 2004 -2- basis, the learned counsel argues that the respondent was not entitled to grant of any maintenance pendente-lite. Admitted. Operation of the order passed by the learned trial Judge shall remain stayed till further orders. However, it is made clear that pendency of the present revision petition shall not preclude the learned trial Judge from deciding the main petition which shall be disposed of as expeditiously as possible.” Though learned counsel for the petitioner is not aware about the latest status, however, keeping in view the nature of litigation, there is every likelihood that by now the main case might have been decided. Be that as it may, the parties have reconciled with the interim order dated 23.03.2004. Consequently, without going into the merits of this revision petition, the same is disposed of with a direction that the interim order dated 23.03.2004 shall continue to operate till the decision of the main case. The observations made by this Court in the interim order shall have no bearing on the merits of the case. Disposed of. MARCH 27, 2009 (SURYA KANT) shalini JUDGE
