The witnesses were examined before the learned Family Court including the applicant and the respondent. The learned Family Court by passing the impugned order, rejected the application under Section 125 of the CrPC filed by the applicant for grant of maintenance. Hence, this revision. 6. Learned counsel appearing for the applicant submits that the impugned order is arbitrary and contrary to the evidence and documents submitted by the applicant. It is further submitted that the applicant was being subjected to mental and physical cruelty treated with the respondent which is just and sufficient reason for a wife to live separately from the husband, but despite the same the Family Court has rejected the claim of the applicant and the applicant has no any source of income. Therefore, the order of the Family Court is liable to be set-aside. 7. I have heard learned counsel for the applicant, perused the pleadings and documents appended thereto. 8. Considering the submissions advanced by the learned counsel for the applicant, and from the perusal of the order of the Family Court, it transpires that no any good ground has been raised on merits by the applicant’ side, thus, it transpires that after hearing all the statements of the witnesses and perusing the evidence available on record, the learned Family Court has passed the impugned order, and there is no any illegality and infirmity while passing the same which requires interference by this Court. 9. Accordingly, the criminal revision being devoid of merit is liable to be and is hereby dismissed. 4 10. Let a certified copy of this order as well as the original records be transmitted to the concerned trial Court within a week for necessary compliance and follow up action, if any.
