IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.562 of 2010 MD. MANSCOR @ MANSHOR ALAM Versus RAHAT SULTANAN @ ZINAT SULTANA ----------- 2 01.07.2010 Heard Mr. Prakash Mahto, learned counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 26.4.2010, passed by the Principal Judge, Family Court, Munger, whereby the petitioner has been directed to pay maintenance in the purported exercise of its power under Section 125 of the code of Criminal Procedure (hereinafter to be referred to as “the Code”). In Raj Kumar Sah v. The State of Bihar and anr., reported in 2008(4) PLJR 817, a Division Bench of this Court, of which I was also a Member, has held that against the order passed by the Family Court on an application under Section 125 of the Code, a revision application under Section 19(4) of the Family Court Act, 1984 is fit to be registered as Criminal Revision and not as Civil Revision. I, thus, hold that this Civil Revision application is not maintainable in view of the aforesaid 2 decision of the Division Bench of this Court. However, as prayed for, the petitioner is granted liberty to convert this Civil Revision application into a Criminal Revision within two weeks, failing which, this application shall stand rejected without further reference to a Bench.
