KRISHNAN, J. ........................................... R.P.(F.C).No.7 OF 2008 ............................................. Dated this the 11th day of February, 2010. O R D E R This revision is preferred against the order of dismissal of M.C.No.55/2007 of Family Court, Thrissur. The wife moved an application against the husband for maintenance. The court below without permitting any of the parties to adduce evidence held that “the petitioner is maintained by her son. Respondent is aged and he has no income. Petition lacks bonafides. Dismissed”. 2. I do not know from where these materials are collected to arrive at a decision. The order does not speak anything about the reason for these findings. The order can be brief but not blank. A reading of the order does not show the real application of mind by the court. Therefore necessarily it has to be interfered with. 3. So, the order under challenge is set aside and the matter is remitted back to the family court for a fresh consideration after affording equal opportunities to both sides to produce documentary as well as oral evidence in : 2 : R.P.(F.C).No.7 OF 2008 support of their respective contentions and then dispose of the matter in accordance with law. Further, as both the parties are in the late evening of their life, a chance also may be taken to see whether they can reunite and spend the balance part of the life in a happy matrimonial fashion. The parties are directed to appear before the family court on 8.3.2010. Disposed of accordingly. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE cl : 3 : R.P.(F.C).No.7 OF 2008
