Learned counsel for the applicants submits that the impugned order 02.12.2024 has been passed without considering the facts and circumstances and position of law as law laid down by the Supreme Court in Rajnesh Vs.

Act; and Section 128 of Cr.P.C., as may be applicable. The order of maintenance may be enforced as a money decree of a civil court as per the provisions of the C.P.C., more particularly Sections 51, 55, 58, 60 read with Order XXI of C.P.C. It is further submitted that the impugned order has been passed to enforce the recovery of arrears of maintenance by issuing non- bailable warrant against the applicant or attachment without following the procedure as provided in the Civil Procedure Code. The matter is related to settled position of law. In view of the above facts and circumstances, the application is allowed and the order dated 02.12.2024 is hereby quashed.
