It is further submitted that the learned court below, without properly considering the objections filed by the applicant, allowed the application filed by opposite party no. 2 under Section 143-A of the Negotiable Instruments Act. It is also contended that the applicant is not in a financial position to deposit the amount as directed by the learned court below vide order dated 16.10.2025.

From the material available on record, it appears that the applicant has admitted his signature on the cheque and has also admitted that the cheque was given to opposite party no. 2, allegedly to avoid payment of interim maintenance to the complainant. It is also admitted that the cheque was dishonoured by the bank. The learned trial court, upon consideration of the material on record, has formed an opinion that interim compensation ought to be awarded and that sufficient grounds exist for the same. It is further evident that the amount so awarded is recoverable from the applicant in accordance with the provisions of Section 143-A(4) of the Negotiable Instruments Act. 7. The submissions raised by learned counsel for the applicant involve disputed questions of fact, which cannot be adjudicated at this stage. Upon consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, no interference is warranted by this Court in exercise of its jurisdiction. 8. Accordingly, the present application is dismissed.
