ORDER

This revision petition is filed against the order dated

31.01.2017 in MC No.39/2016 of Family Court, Vatakara. As per the above order, the Family Court granted maintenance to the respondent at the rate of Rs.5,000/- per month. Even though this revision petition was filed on 23.06.2017, no interim order is passed by this Court and the revision is not even admitted.

There is no representation also for the petitioner.
