Hon'ble Sanjay Kumar Pachori,J. Sri Parvesh Kumar Pandey, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri A.K. Rai, learned A.G.A. for the State are present. The present application u/s 528 of BNSS of 2023 has been filed with prayer to quash the order dated 30.07.2025 passed by Principal Judge, Family Court, Sambhal at Chandausi in Execution (Maintenance) Case No. 75 of 2024 , arising out of an application under Section 125(3) Cr.P.C., whereby the Family Court issued Recovery Warrant/Non-Bailable Warrant/Letter to Superintendent of Police to recover the arrears of maintenance against the applicant. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the impugned order has been passed without considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the 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 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 and non-bailable warrant against the applicant without following the procedure as provided in the Civil Procedure Code. The matter is related to settled position of law. There is no other point for consideration except issuing recovery warrant/non- bailable warrant to recover the arrears of maintenance, due to this reason, the opportunity to call the counter affidavit from the opposite party no. 2 is dispensed with. In view of above facts and circumstances, the application is allowed and the order dated 30.07.2025 is 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 as law laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of Rajnesh (supra).
