UKHC010200802024 2026:UHC:7061 SL. No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS CRLR/934/2024 Sachin Kumar --Revisionist Versus Shivani --Respondent Hon'ble Alok Mahra, J. Mr. Abhishek Verma, learned counsel for the revisionist. Mohd. Safdar, learned counsel for the respondent. 2. The present Criminal Revision has been filed against the order dated 25.10.2024, passed by the learned Additional Family Court/Principal Judge, Roorkee, District Haridwar in Case No. 56 of 2023, “Shivani vs. Sachin”, whereby the learned Court below allowed the interim maintenance application filed on behalf of the respondent-wife and directed the revisionist to pay interim maintenance of Rs. 10,000/- per month from the date of filing of the application. 3. Learned counsel for the revisionist submitted that the learned Court below has erred in allowing the interim maintenance application without considering that the respondent-wife had left the matrimonial home without any sufficient cause and of her own free will. It is further submitted that the impugned order is liable to be set aside. 4. Per contra, learned counsel for the respondent-wife submitted that she was subjected to harassment and ill- treatment in her matrimonial home and was, therefore, compelled to leave the same. It is further submitted that the learned Court below has passed the UKHC010200802024 2026:UHC:7061 impugned order after due consideration of the material available on record and no interference is warranted. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 6. The revisionist has himself admitted that he is earning approximately Rs. 45,000/- per month. Considering the income of the revisionist and the object of Section 125 Cr.P.C., this Court does not find any illegality, perversity, or infirmity in the impugned order. 7. Learned counsel for both the parties submitted that the statements of the revisionist and the respondent have already been recorded before the learned Court below and the proceedings under Section 125 Cr.P.C. are now at the stage of final adjudication. 8. In view of the above and considering the facts and circumstances of the case, no ground for interference is made out in the impugned order dated 25.10.2024. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision is disposed of. However, considering the pendency of Misc. Case No. 56 of 2023, the learned Additional Family Court/Principal Judge, Roorkee, District Haridwar is directed to make an endeavour to decide the said case expeditiously, preferably within a period of three months from the date of production of a certified copy of this order.
