5. We find from the submission of parties that although the Accountant General was directed to ensure that the maintenance payable to the appellant/wife was deducted prior to disbursing the pension amount to the respondent, at present, it is the disbursing Bank which is remitting such amount and as such, in order to avoid the rigmarole of passing directions on the Accountant General o
