Aggrieved by the same, he has filed the instant criminal revision petition. 3. Perused the last order dated 11.09.2025. The learned counsel submits that he still does not have instruction from the petitioner. 4. Ms. B. Sarma, learned legal Aid Counsel submits that though alimony has not been paid, even without the same, the respondent desires to accept the dissolution of the marriage. 5. Since, the judgment and decree has been passed by the Family Court, the remedies by way of appeal or revision if any has to be preferred on the civil side. The criminal revision petition therefore would not be maintainable in my considered view. 6. Therefore, the criminal revision petition stands dismissed and disposed of as not maintainable.
