Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner had filed an application under Section 144 of BNSS before the Family Court, Durg, seeking grant of maintenance along with an application for grant of interim maintenance on 21.08.2025. Case is registered as MJC Cri. No.1102 of 2025 wherein respondent has also caused his appearance on 06.12.2025. However, since then, even after lapse of about more than 8 months, application for grant of interim maintenance is not considered and decided and, therefore, a direction may be issued to concerned Family Court to consider and take decision on interim maintenance application at the earliest within specified time frame. 3. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the -3- documents annexed along with this petition. 4. Considering the submission of learned counsel for the petitioner, facts and circumstances of the case, this Criminal Miscellaneous Petition is disposed of with a direction to learned Family Court Durg, to consider and decide the interim application for grant of maintenance in accordance with law, expeditiously, preferably within a period of 6 weeks from the date next fixed for hearing.
