This is a petition to revise the order of the Munsif-Magistrate, Ettumanoor dismissing an application which the petitioner made under Section 488 Cr. P. C. for getting maintenance from the respondent.

2. The respondent married the petitioner in April 1948, while he was in Military service. The petitioner's case is that, while this marriage remains in force, the respondent married another lady by a registration in December 1951, and thereafter he neglected to maintain the petitioner. She complained to the Military authorities as a result of which he began to send her some money. Subsequently, he was discharged from the Military, and he had not been giving her any maintenance during the past one year.

On these and other allegations which are not necessary to be stated here, she claimed a monthly maintenance of Rs. 60/- from the respondent. The respondent, while admitting the marriage, contended that the petitioner left his house contrary to his instructions soon after the marriage, and began to live an immoral life in her own house. In April 1949, when he came on leave, he went to the petitioner's house to take her home, but he was turned out by the petitioner and her relations
