Mr. Maldhure, Advocate for non applicant no.1. None for non applicant no.2. CORAM:- R. Y. GANOO, J. DATED:- 22 nd JULY, 2009. Civil Application No. 2874/2006 1. This is an application filed by applicant no.1 in the main application namely Criminal Revision Application No. 133/2006, who happens to be the son of applicant Tulsabai. According to non applicant no.1-Hanuman, there is a change in the situation and the grant of Rs. 400/- per month is required to be brought down to a sum of Rs. 200/- per month. The reasons as to why the said change is required, are set out in the body of the application. 2. Heard Mr. Maldhure, Advocate for the applicant. Insofar as this aspect is concerned, I am inclined to observe that keeping in view the provisions of Section 127 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, an application for reduction and/or modification of the order of maintenance is required 2 to be filed in that Court in which the order for maintenance was passed. Keeping in view this principle, non applicant no. 1-Hanunam will have to file application under Section 127 of the Cr. P. C. in the Family Court, Nagpur or at any place in accordance with provisions of law. 3. This application, therefore, will have to be dismissed. Hence, the order. The application filed by non applicant no.1 for reduction of the amount of maintenance from Rs. 400/- to Rs. 200/- cannot be entertained by this Court at the first level and if at all the said Hanuman wants to have that order changed from Rs. 400/- to Rs. 200/- he is free to file application under Section 127 of the Code of Criminal Procedure before the Family Court, Nagpur or any other Court in accordance with provisions of law. The application stands dismissed. It is made clear that, no views are expressed on the merits of the matter and all the contentions raised in the application are left open. JUDGE kahale
