HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.4985 of 2009 O R D E R: The petitioner is aggrieved by order of the lower Court directing payment of Rs.20,000/- as condition precedent for setting aside ex parte order of maintenance. The said amount of Rs.20,000/- was awarded as part of maintenance amount. The petitioner appears to be a great litigant. Previously he suffered another ex parte order of maintenance and the lower Court was kind enough to set aside the said ex parte order of maintenance on payment of Rs.5,000/-. This is the second occasion when he suffered ex parte order of maintenance. Having regard to history of this litigation, the lower Court is justified in imposing the condition of deposit of Rs.20,000/- for setting aside the second order of ex parte maintenance. It is stated that the petitioner in pursuance of interim order of this Court, already deposited Rs.10,000/- in the lower Court. In the result, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner is granted four weeks time from today for making balance of payment out of Rs.20,000/- ordered by the lower Court. _______________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU,J Dt.22nd December, 2011 PNV
