Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the marriage of applicant was solemnized with opposite party no.2 on 18.06.1987 according to Hindu rites and rituals. However, the relations between the two became strained, therefore, opposite party no.2 left the house of the applicant. He further submits that despite several efforts, the opposite party no.2 did not return rather filed a divorce petition which was allowed in view of the compromise as entered into between the parties on 12.05.1993. It appears that some case was also lodged by opposite party no.2 under Sections 498A, 406 I.P.C. and Section 3/4 D.P. Act at Police Station- B.B. Nagar, District- Bulandshahar in which the matter travelled up to the Hon'ble High Court and the applicant filed Application U/S
482 No.-51 of 2006 (Shiv Kumar And Others vs. State of U.P. and Another). The proceedings against the applicant-husband were quashed mentioning about the divorce petition which was allowed on the basis of compromise between the parties. In view of the compromise, the matter between the parties was settled and after taking into consideration the aforesaid, the divorce petition was decided, hence nothing remained between the parties. However, after several years, the present maintenance application has been filed on 04.05.2023 wherein notice has been issued to the applicant-husband. Learned A.G.A. for the State submits that after receiving the notice, the proper remedy available for the applicant was to file an objection before the court concerned mentioning for the aforesaid
facts. On the aforesaid, learned counsel for the applicant prays that he may be permitted to file an objection before the court concerned, within stipulated period. In view of the aforesaid, taking into consideration the fact that at this stage no orders have been passed against the applicant, the matter is being decided without calling for any further affidavits or issuing notice to the opposite party no.2. Considering the facts and circumstance, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present application is
disposed of by providing that applicant may file fresh application/objection, ventilating all his grievances, supported by such documents, as may be advised, before the Court concerned, along with a certified copy of this order within a period of four weeks from today. On such application being made, the Court concerned shall pass appropriate order, strictly in accordance with law, by means of a reasoned and speaking order, after giving proper opportunity of hearing to both the parties concerned, as expeditiously as possible, from the date of production of certified copy of this order, if there is no legal impediment.
