The order was an ex parte order. Application was filed to set aside the ex parte order. That petition was also dismissed. Aggrieved by those orders the petitioner has come before this court. 2. It is submitted at the Bar that the petitioner has suffered imprisonment for some period of time already as he was unable to pay the amounts under the impugned order. In these circumstances, parties were directed to explore the possibilities of a settlement. The learned counsel now fairly submit that the matter can be settled. It is agreed that the direction under Section 125 Cr.P.C can be maintained; but reducing the amount awarded. 3. In the result, this R.P.F.C is allowed as agreed. The order directing payment of maintenance is modified and the quantum of maintenance payable is reduced to Rs.750/- per mensum so far as the first claimant/wife is concerned and Rs.500/- each per mensum to claimants 2 and 3. The order shall take effect from the date of the original petition. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) jsr R.P.F.C.No.523/07 2 R.P.F.C.No.523/07 3 R.BASANT, J R.P.F.C.No. ORDER 11/02/2008
