Both the courts concurrently held that the 2nd and 3rd respondents, being the illegitimate children of the petitioner and the 1st respondent, are entitled to maintenance. This Court has not stayed the award of maintenance to the 2nd and 3rd respondents. Learned counsel for the petitioner is also not able to say as to whether the maintenance awarded to the 2nd and 3rd respondents is paid or not. Though the matter is pending for the last five years, notice could not be served on the 1st to 3rd respondents and the petitioner is also permitted to take out notice to the respondents through Legal Services Authority, Visakhapatnam on 09.07.2000, but so far they have not yet been served. Both 2nd and 3rd respondents are aged 14 and 10 years respectively in the year 2000 and by this time both of them would have become majors. In view of the same, the petitioner is at liberty to move the Magistrate for alteration of the maintenance awarded to them on their attaining majority. Criminal Petition is accordingly dismissed. _________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J 30th July 2010 lmv
