Therefore, the Criminal Revision Case is closed giving liberty to the petitioner to file a fresh maintenance case before the appropriate court having the jurisdiction for claiming maintenance as per the law and procedure established. There shall be no orders as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions, if any pending, shall stand closed. _________________________ Dr. Y.
