IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Revision No.1878 of 2009 Shahid Anwar @ Pintu, son of Jamaluddin Ansari, resident of village- Madhopur, P.S.- Chiraiya, District- East Champaran. …………….Petitioner Versus Husnarra, wife of Shahid Anwar @ Pintu, daughter of Mohammad Samsuddin Ansari, resident of village- Madhopur, P.S.- Chiraiya, District- East Champaran. …………….Opposite Pary ---------------------------------- 2. 13.12.2011 This revision application has been preferred under Section 19 (4) of the Family Courts Act against the order dated 18.09.2009 passed by the learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Motihari in Maintenance Case No.153/2009 by which the petitioner has been directed to pay a sum of Rs.3000/-per month for the maintenance of his wife and minor daughter. The main grievance of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that no notice was served upon him and as such, he could not contest the case. From perusal of the impugned order, it appears that the learned Principal Judge has found that even after service of notice, the petitioner did not appear and contest the case and finding no alternative, the case proceeded ex-parte. The learned Principal Judge has considered the evidence adduced on behalf of the 2 petitioner. It further appears that the petitioner is in military service and his salary is Rs.15000/-per month and has also other source of income, whereas, his wife and minor daughter have no means to support themselves. Considering the facts and circumstances stated above, I do not find any ground to interfere with the impugned order. This petition is dismissed. V.K. Pandey ( Amaresh Kumar Lal, J.)
