Learned counsel for the applicant does not want to press the relief to quash the ex-parte judgment order dated 13.09.2013. The aforesaid relief is dismissed as not pressed. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the impugned order 16.06.2025 has been passed without considering the facts and circumstances and position of law as law laid down by the Supreme Court in Rajnesh Vs. Neha & Anr. (2021) 2 SCC 324, wherein it has been directed that the enforcement/ execution of orders of maintenance, may be enforced under Section 28A of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1956; Section 20(6) of the D.V. 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 recovery 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 partly allowed and the order dated 16.06.2025 is hereby quashed. It is made clear that the court concerned may proceed to enforce or recover the arrears of maintenance amount as money decree of a civil court as per provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure.
