b.r. C.R.R 1256 of 2014 In the matter of petitioner. Mr. Arindam Jana
Lila Ghosh .................. for the petitioner.
http://evinayak.tumblr.com/ ; http://vinayak.wordpress.com/ ; http://fromvinayak.blogspot.com
The petitioner has preferred this criminal revision challenging the order dated13.01.2014 passed by the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Arambagh, Hooghly in Misc. Case No. 65 of 2012, by which the learned Magistrate refused to grant the maintenance to the petitioner.
Mr. Arindam Jana, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that learned Magistrate should have granted maintenance to the petitioner-wife as there was sufficient cause for leaving the matrimonial home by the petitioner and as such this criminal revision may be admitted.
On consideration of the contents of the application and the impugned judgment and order challenged in this criminal revision, I find that the opposite party-husband was subjected to torture and cruelty by the petitioner for prolonged period of time and there was talk of amicable settlement by way of mutual divorce between the parties. It also appears from the impugned judgment and order, it was agreed that the opposite party-husband would make payment of Rs.2,00,000/- (Rupees two lakh) only as permanent alimony to the petitioner-wife when the mutual divorce will take place in the court of law.
The copies of depositions of the witnesses have been produced before this court by the learned counsel for the petitioner. It appears from the cross-examination of the petitioner that the petitioner has candidly admitted during cross-examination that she poured boiling water on her husband and left the matrimonial home and did not come back to the matrimonial home again. Accordingly, I do not find any illegality in the inference drawn by the learned Magistrate that the petitioner has refused to live with her husband without sufficient cause as laid down in Sub-Section (4) of Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The logical inference is that the petitioner is not entitled to get maintenance under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. I do not find any merit in this criminal revision. Accordingly, this criminal revision is dismissed. Let a copy of this order be sent down to the learned court below for favour of information and necessary action. Criminal Section is directed to deliver urgent photostat certified copy of this order to the learned counsel of the petitioner, if applied for, as early as possible.
