( 1 ) THE petitioner has filed the instant petition under Section 18 and 20 of the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956 for grant of maintenance as an indigent person under the provisions of Order XXXIII read with Section 151 Civil Procedure Code. The respondent has not appeared despite service and accordingly by order dated 8th March,2001 he was proceeded ex-parte. The petitioner was permitted to file affidavit disclosing the assets in her possession. Evidence by way of affidavit has been filed by the petitioner stating that petitioner is not in possession of sufficient means to enable her to pay Court Fee and in fact she does not own any moveable and immovable property. In view of these averments made on affidavit and there being no rebuttal or opposition, I am satisfied that the petitioner is not possessed of sufficient means to enable her to pay the Court Fee in the instant Case. The prayer to sue as an indigent person is allowed. I. A. No. 1646/2001 stands disposed of. Let this I. P. A. be registered as a suit by the Registry.
