2. Specific prayer has been made through the instant petition that a direction be issued to the learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Kaushambi to decide Case No.295 of 2020 (Reshama Devi and Others Vs. Shiv Kumar) filed under Section 125 Cr.P.C. expeditiously, which has been preferred at the behest of petitioner.
3. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that application under Section 125 Cr.P.C. was filed by petitioner herself in the year 2020 itself but neither the same has been decided, nor any interim maintenance has been granted by the court concerned till today, since there is a specific provision that proceedings of maintenance shall be decided within two months from the date of service of notice, otherwise the entire purpose of filing application under Section 125 Cr.P.C. shall be futile.
4. Considering the arguments raised by learned for petitioner, learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Kaushambi is hereby
directed to consider the application under Section 125 Cr.P.C. preferred at the behest of petitioner and decide for interim maintenance within a period of two months from the date of production of a certified copy of this order.

disposed of.
