IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Date of Decision : 27.08.2010 COCP No.1685 of 2010 Paramjit Kaur ...Petitioner Versus Rajinder Pal Singh ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA Present : Mr. Onkar Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. HEMANT GUPTA, J. (Oral) The grievance of the petitioner is that the order passed on an application under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (for short ‘the Act’) has not been given effect and the petitioner has not been paid either the litigation expenses or the maintenance pendente lite. It is admitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petition field by the respondent under Section 13 of the Act has since been dismissed in default. Mere fact that the order passed by the learned Civil Court has not been complied with, does not disclose the civil contempt. It is so held by the Full Bench of this Court in Parkash Chand Vs. S.S.Grewal and others 1975 Crl. L. J. 679. In view of the said fact, the present petition is dismissed. However, it is open to the petitioner to take recourse to the remedy as may be provided under the Act for recovery of the amount of maintenance. 27.08.2010 (HEMANT GUPTA) Vimal JUDGE
