JUSTICE SACHIN SHANKAR MAGADUM ORAL ORDER The petitioner has preferred a criminal appeal in Crl.A. No.915/2025 challenging the order passed in Crl. Misc. No.118/2019, whereby maintenance of Rs.10,000/- per month has been awarded in favour of the wife along with a direction to pay compensation of Rs.3,00,000/- within three months from the date of the order. 2. During the pendency of the appeal, the appellate court has stayed the operation and execution of the impugned order, subject to the condition that the petitioner pays interim maintenance of Rs.5,000/- per month and deposits a sum of Rs.2,00,000/- towards compensation within 20 days from the date of the order. 3. Aggrieved by the said conditional order, the petitioner has invoked the inherent jurisdiction of this - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:34379 WP No. 20959 of 2025 Court by filing the present petition under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. The office, however, has raised objections regarding the maintainability of this petition. 4. On perusal of the order impugned, this Court is of the considered view that the petitioner has an efficacious statutory remedy by invoking the revisional jurisdiction under Section 397 of Cr.P.C. Hence, the objection raised by the office on the ground of maintainability deserves to be upheld. 5. Accordingly, the petition stands dismissed, reserving liberty to the petitioner to avail such remedy as is permissible in law. Sd/- (SACHIN SHANKAR MAGADUM) JUDGE SKS List No.: 1 Sl No.: 53
