It is submitted by learned counsel for the revisionist that in this case order dated 17.07.2025 has been passed ex-parte against him in favour of the opposite party no.2/wife awarding maintenance Rs.4000/- per month from the date of application. Further submitted that revisionist continued to present before the learned trial court but on account of some difficulty he could not appear before the learned court concerned that was the reason case was proceeded ex-parte. It is also submitted that the order passed by the learned trial court is not lawful, therefore, request to set it aside and allow the revision.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, submissions made by learned counsel for the revisionist as well as learned A.G.A., perusal of record and the order passed by learned trial court, it appears that the order Versus Counsel for Revisionist(s) : Chandra Shekhar Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A.

He has option to get the order recalled under Section 126(2) Cr.P.C..
However, the revisionist has not moved any such application before the learned trial court, therefore, it is expedient to direct the revisionist to file an application for recall of order u/s 126(2) Cr.P.C. before the learned trial court to set aside the order dated 17.07.2025 passed against him within a period of 30 days from today, that will be heard and decided by the learned trial court by giving an opportunity of hearing to both the parties.
