On service of notice, the respondent has not chosen to appear before the Court and was placed ex- parte. The Family Court after considering the material on record by its order dated 26.10.2024 passed impugned order. Being aggrieved by the same, the respondent- husband has preferred this petition. 5. Sri. B. C. Jnanayya Swami, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner contended that the Family Court has disposed of the entire case within four months without granting opportunity to the petitioner and father of the petitioner was suffering from ill-health and accordingly, sought for interference by this Court. 6. In the light of the submission made by learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, the relationship between the parties is not disputed. In view of the - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:2647 RPFC No. 100219 of 2024 marriage by the petitioner No.1 with the respondent, petitioner No.2 is born. Perusal of the finding recorded by the Family Court would indicate that the petitioner herein was in abroad and has not taken any interest with the petitioners to take them to the matrimonial home. It is also to be noted that the petitioner herein has received a notice from the Family Court, however has not chosen to appear before the Family Court. Hence, the Family Court after considering the material on record by its order dated 26.10.2024 passed impugned order granting maintenance to the respondents herein and same is in accordance with law and cannot be interfered with the revisional jurisdiction. 7. Accordingly, petition is dismissed. Sd/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE SMM CT:ANB List No.: 1 Sl No.: 9
