2.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that while granting anticipatory bail to the petitioner in A.B.A. No.4969 of 2016, the condition has been put to the petitioner to pay the current ad interim maintenance @ Rs.5000/- per month from the month August, 2017 latest to be deposited by 25th day of the English calendar in the Account of O.P. No.2 and it has been clarified in para 5 that the said order of ad interim maintenance granted to the O.P. No.2 is subject to the result of the order passed by competent jurisdiction. He submits that O.S. No.64 of 2020 which is a petition for divorce pending in the court of Additional Principal Judge, Family Court-I, Jamshedpur, by order dated 25.05.2026, ad interim maintenance has already been directed to be paid by the petitioner to the O.P. no.2 to the tune of Rs.5000/- and Rs.800/- as litigation expenses per appearance in the said case. He submits that in view of the subsequent
order of the competent court, the order passed in A.B.A. may kindly be modified.
3.
Learned counsel appearing for the State submits that the petition itself is misconceived one as the order passed by the co-ordinate Bench of
2026:JHHC:25324 this court in A.B.A. No.4969 of 2016 is clear.
4. In the said A.B.A., it has already been observed that the order of ad-interim maintenance granted to the O.P. No.2 is subject to the result of the order passed by the competent jurisdiction. Since the competent jurisdiction has passed the order later on 25.05.2026 in O.S. No.64 of 2020, there is no need of modification of the order of the co-ordinate Bench passed in the aforesaid A.B.A. which is very much clear.
5. With the above observation, this petition is dismissed.
