1. Heard learned counsel for revisionist, learned counsel for
respondent No. 2, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the
record.
2. This revision has been preferred against judgement and order
dated 21.06.2022, passed by learned Principal Judge Family Court,
District Banda, in Case No. 26/IX of 2019 (Smt. Kanchan Prabha
@ Josa Vs. Engineer Manish Patel), under Section 125 Cr.P.C.,
whereby, the revisionist has been directed to pay maintenance @
Rs. 10,000/- p.m. to the respondent No. 2 from the date of filing of
application to the date of order, and Rs. 20,000/- p.m. from the
date of order to the respondent No. 2.
3. Learned counsel for revisionist submits that he is not disputing
the findings rendered by the family court on factual aspects of the
matter and he is ready and willing to pay the maintenance amount
awarded by the family court but as the maintenance of Rs. 10,000/-
p.m., has been granted from the date of filing of application, thus
there are huge arrears of maintenance amount and thus,
installments may be fixed for payment of arrears of maintenance
accrued to the respondent No. 2.
4. Learned counsel for respondent No. 2 submits that initially, 50%
amount of total arrears of maintenance, may be paid by the
revisionist and that remaining 50% amount may be paid by him in
installments.
5. Considering the submissions of learned counsels for parties and
perusal of record, it is directed that in case revisionist
pays/deposits an amount of Rs. 1,00,000/- (One Lakh) within a
period of two weeks from today before the family court concerned,
the remaining arrears of maintenance, accrued to the respondent
No. 2 in pursuance to the impugned order, may be paid by the
revisionist in five monthly installments to be fixed by the Family
Court concerned. In case, revisionist fails to pay the amount of Rs.
1,00,000/- in the period as stated aforesaid, the family court would
be at liberty to initiate execution proceedings in accordance with
law.
6. In view of the aforesaid, the revision is disposed of finally in
above terms.
