THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.NAGAPRASANNA ORAL ORDER 1. The petitioners are before this Court calling in question twin orders. One passed by the concerned Court under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 granting maintenance of Rs.10,000/-. The petitioner challenged the same before the Court of Sessions in Criminal Appeal No.72/2024, whereby, the concerned appellate Court modifies the order of the trial Court directing to pay 60% of the maintenance amount and to execute a bank guarantee of 40% of the maintenance amount. Being aggrieved by the same, the petitioners are before this Court. 2. The petitioners submit that the proof of marriage is not even produced before the Court by the respondent and there is no photo or video produced in respect of the marriage. All that is a matter of evidence that would be established at a later - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:6381 WP No. 36307 of 2024 point in time before the concerned Court. I do not find any warrant of interference, more so, because in the light of the fact that the Court of Sessions has already modified the maintenance as aforesaid. The petition lacking in merit, stands dismissed. Sd/- (M.NAGAPRASANNA) JUDGE PKS List No.: 1 Sl No.: 246
