IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 7074 of 2009 Date of Decision: October 08, 2010 Baljit Rai. …Petitioner Versus Amarjit Kaur … Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK SINGH 1. Whether reporters of local news papers may be Allowed to see judgment? 2. To be referred to reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr. Amit Verma, Advocate, for Mr. N.S. Sodhi, Advocate, for the petitioner. Alok Singh, J. (Oral) Present petition is filed challenging the order dated 12.10.2009 passed by the learned Additional District Judge, Jalandhar, whereby learned Additional District Judge has directed the respondent – petitioner to pay Rs.2,000/- per month as pendente-lite maintenance to the wife and has also directed to pay Rs.2,000/- towards litigation expenses. C.R. No. 7074 of 2009 This Court vide order dated 17.08.2010 directed the parties to appear before the Mediation and Conciliation Centre of this Court to explore the possibility of settlement, on 21.09.2010. The report of Mediation and Conciliation Centre dated 21.09.2010 shows that none of the parties appeared before the Mediation and Conciliation Centre in compliance with this Court’s direction dated 17.08.2010. Rs.2,000/- per month pendente-lite maintenance seems to be justified in the facts and circumstances of the case. Present petition seems to be abuse of process of law. Non-appearance before the Mediation and Conciliation Centre by the husband-petitioner proves mal-intention of the husband-petitioner. Present petition is dismissed with exemplary cost of Rs. 10,000/- under Section 35-A C.P.C. to be paid by the petitioner to the respondent over and above the litigation expenses and maintenance granted by the learned Trial Court.
