4. This Court finds ground for condonation of the delay is sufficient. For the reasons indicated in the delay condonation application, the same is allowed, and the delay in filing criminal revision is hereby condoned.
5. The present criminal revision is directed against the judgment and order dated 23.04.2025, passed by the court of learned Family Judge, Haldwani, District Nainital, in Case No.251 of 2024, “Smt. Rupali & others Vs. Pramod Chauhan”, whereby directing the Revisionist to pay an amount of Rs.11,000/- per month as interim maintenance to the Respondents i.e. wife, sons and daughter respectively.
6. Admit.
7. Learned counsel for the Revisionist makes a submission that despite their minor children i.e. private Respondent Nos.3, 4 and 5, who have been impleaded as Respondents are staying with the Revisionist/Father and because they have also awarded a maintenance allowance alongwith Respondent No.2/Mother, therefore, they have been impleaded as formal party in the criminal revision.
8. Learned counsel for the Revisionist submits, at this juncture, that the impugned maintenance order dated 23.04.2025, is exorbitant and not legally sounds, as minor children mentioned above are staying with the Revisionist/Father, and he is being looking after.

10. Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case, an interference is being called for in the matter.
