1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CRIMINAL REVISION No.799 of 2011 ====================================================== Madhusudan Chaudhary @ Maksudan Chaudhary, son of Ramnihora Choudhary, resident of village-Jadhua, Barai Tola, P.S.-Industrial Area, District- Vaishali .... .... Petitioner Versus 1.The State Of Bihar 2. Lalita Devi, wife of Madhusudan Chaudhary, resident of village-Jadhua, Barai Tola, P.S.-Industrial Area, District- Vaishali .... .... Opposite Parties ====================================================== 2 12-07-2011 The petition at flag 'A' under Section 5 of the Limitation Act has been filed for condonation of delay in filing of this revision application. The delay is condoned. The husband petitioner has preferred this revision application against the order dated 14.03.2011 passed by learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Vaishali at Hajipur by which the petitioner has been directed to pay a sum of Rs.1,000/-per month as interim maintenance to his wife (O.P.No.2). Heard Mr.Rajeev Ranjan-II, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that this application may be disposed of with a direction to learned trial court to expedite the hearing of the maintenance case. The main contention of the learned counsel for the 2 petitioner is that petitioner is a labour and he is not in a position to pay the amount of maintenance to his wife and the character of his wife is doubtful and she has illegal relationship with other person. As such, he has also filed a divorce case before the learned Family Court, Vaishali at Hajipur vide Divorce Case No.14/07. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the State, it appears that it is admitted fact that the petitioner is the husband of opposite party no.2 and she has also a child aged about 4 years, who is living with her. The amount of maintenance is too meager for the maintenance of the wife and the minor son. Considering the facts and circumstances, I do not find any ground to interfere with the impugned order and the learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Vaishali at Hajipur is directed to expedite the maintenance case preferably within six months. With this direction, this petition is dismissed. VISHWAMBHAR KUMAR PANDEY/- (Amaresh Kumar Lal, J)
