INDU VERMA D/O SRI ARJUN PRASAD, BHABUA WARD NO.1, POLICE STATION BHABUA. ----------- 3 06.10.2009. Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner is aggrieved by order dated 21.7.2006, passed by the Judicial Magistrate, Kaimur at Bhabua in Maintenance case no. 15 of 1996 as well as by order dated 4.12.2006, passed by the Sessions judge, Kaimur in Revision case no. 185 of 2006, whereby he has been directed to pay a sum of Rs. 2000/- per month towards maintenance of his wife, opposite party number no.2 as well as a minor daughter. The petitioner states that earlier a compromise petition dated 5.10.2001 contained in annexure 3 was agreed by the parties, consequent to which he paid Rs. 25,000/- plus Rs. 39,000/- to opposite party number 2. He further states after dismissal from service he has nothing to sustain, save some agricultural land. The terms of compromise have not been appreciated by the trial court and the revisional court. However, opposite party no. 2 states that compromise was effected by playing fraud upon her. She submits that petitioner has moved this Court against his dismissal order. In view of the fact that the petitioner has been dismissed from service, this Court reduces the maintenance money from Rs.2000/- to Rs. 1000/- per month which would be effective from - 2 - 1.4.2007. Arrears would be paid in 18 equal monthly installments, whereas current monthly maintenance amount would be paid to opposite party no.2 by 10th of the following month. Payment would be made preferably by way of money order etc. The writ petition stands disposed of with aforesaid observations and directions. Shashi. (Samarendra Pratap Singh,J).
