Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. Perused the record. 3. The first respondent is the wife and the 2nd respondent is the son of the petitioner herein. The respondents 1 and 2 herein filed MC No.6 of 2009 claiming maintenance of Rs.3,000/- per month each. Pending disposal of the main case, the respondents 1 and 2 herein filed Crl.M.P.No.3112 of 2009 seeking interim maintenance. The petitioner herein contested the said petition. The learned Magistrate after taking into consideration both contentions, directed interim maintenance of Rs.1,500/- per month to the wife and Rs.1,000/- per month to the son, from the date of petition. The petitioner filed a revision against the said order and the said revision was also dismissed. 4. The impugned order is only interlocutory in nature pending disposal of the main MC. Having regard to the fact that the maintenance case was filed in the year 2009, it is considered that a direction can be issued to the learned Magistrate, instead of going into the merits of the case in the present petition. In the circumstances, the learned Magistrate is directed to dispose of MC No.6 of 2009 itself within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order. The petitioner shall continue to pay the interim maintenance as ordered by the Courts below, till the disposal of MC No.6 of 2009. 5. In the result, the criminal petition is disposed of with the above direction. ___________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J Date: 19.11.2010 bss
