Learned advocate further submits that since the amount is directed to be paid towards maintenance is very meager amount and therefore, said exercise of paying maintenance shall be continued till the application under Section 127 is decided by the learned Magistrate. 4. On perusal of the impugned orders, it is disclosed that the amount of maintenance of Rs.1000/- per month is directed to be paid to the son, who was minor at the relevant time.

In view of the above, the instant Criminal Revision Application is disposed of with liberty to the applicant to approach the learned JMFC under Section 127 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. kps ( SUSHIL M.
