Learned A.G.A. has raised a preliminary objection that the present application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. against the impugned order, is not maintainable. 4. It has been submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that by impugned order dated 03.08.2024 the Family court has granted interim maintenance in favour of opposite party no. 2, without considering relevant facts and law. Regarding maintainability of this application under Section 482 Cr.P.C., it was submitted that order of interim maintenance is an interlocutory order, thus, the present application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is maintainable. Referring to the facts of the matter, it was submitted that the impugned order is liable to be set aside. 5. I have considered the rival submissions and perused the record. 6. It is apparent from record that by impugned order dated 03.08.2024 interim maintenance has been granted by the Family Court concerned in favour of opposite party no. 2. In view of the provisions of Section 19 of Family Court Act, 1984 and the law laid down in case of Smt. Anjana Mukhopadhyay Vs. State of U.P. and Another 2023:AHC:2129445, Ashu Jain Vs. State of U.P. and 3 Others 2023:AHC:165660 and Manish Aggarwal Vs. Seema Aggarwal and Others 2012 SCC OnLine Del 4816, it is clear that an order of maintenance or interim maintenance passed by Family court is not an interlocutory order and that against such orders, aggrieved person has remedy of revision.

However, the applicant would be at liberty to file revision or resort to appropriate remedy in accordance with law. 9. The certified copy of order, if any, available on record may be returned back to the learned counsel for the applicant after retaining photocopy of the same on record.
