The present revision has been filed by the petitioner- husband challenging the order dated 22.08.2008 passed by Additional District Judge, Amritsar, whereby he was directed to pay an amount of Rs.4000/- per month as maintenance to the respondent-wife. On 12.11.2008, this Court had issued notice of motion only for a limited purpose for exploring the possibility of settlement between the parties. In pursuance of this order, the parties were directed to appear before the Mediation Centre of this Court for an amicable settlement of the dispute vide order dated 24.02.2009. A perusal of the order dated 24.02.2009 would show that the petitioner was directed to pay litigation expenses and 50% of the amount due towards maintenance as fixed vide impugned order to the respondent-wife before the Mediation Centre, of this Court. However, petitioner was not present and in fact counsel for the petitioner stated that he wanted to withdraw the petition. The case was sent Civil Revision No.6219 of 2008 2 back by the Mediator to this Court taking note of the earlier order passed by this Court. Today neither counsel for the petitioner, nor the petitioner himself are present in the Court. Thus, I find no alternative but to dismiss this revision petition with costs which are assessed at Rs.5000/-. (RAKESH KUMAR GARG) JUDGE 08.05.2009 neenu
