Legal Reasoning
3. Learned counsel for applicant refers that the application filed by his wife under Section 125 Cr.P.C. was disposed of by an order dated 24.03.2017 with a direction to pay Rs. 4,500/- per month. He further submits that within a span of few months the dispute was settled and both applicant and opposite party no. 2 decided to live together and therefore they have entered into an agreement (which is not on record). He submits that on basis of said agreement the matter was put up before National Lok Adalat and by order dated 09.12.2017 Maintenance Suit No. 129 of 2015 was disposed of. For reference, the said order is reproduced hereinafter:- " पततवलल रतषषलय ललक अदतलत मम पपश हहई। पककतर मय ववदतन अधधवकत उपसससत। पककतरर कक ओर सप ससलहनतमत 15 क इस आशय सप पसतसत वकयत गयत वक उनकप मधय ससलह हल गयल हह। ससलह कप अनससतर पतधसरयत ववपकल कप सतस पवत पतनल कप रप मम एक सतस रहनप कल तहयतर हह। अब उनकप बलच कलई वववतद नहह हह। अतत ससलहनतमत 15 क कप आधतर पर वतद कत वनसततरण वकयत जतय। पककतरल कप हसततकर, अअगगठप कप वनशतन तसत फलटलगतफ उनकप ववदतन अधधवकत दतरत सतयतवपत वकयप गयप। नयतयतलय दतरत ससलहनतमत तसदलक वकयत गयत। ससलहनतमत 15 क कप आधतर पर उपरलक मतमलप कत वनसततरण वकयत जततत हह। ससलहनतमत 15 क वनणरय कत अअश हलगत। कलई कतयरवतहल शपष नहल पततवलल दतधखल दफतर हल। पधतन नयतयतधलश, पररवतर नयतयतलय,चनददलल" 4. Learned counsel further submits that both the parties lived together for some time and in the year 2023 i.e. after about 5 years, wife of the applicant filed an application under Section 125(3) Cr.P.C. that not a single penny was paid to her since 24.03.2017, however, she did not disclose that subsequently the said application filed under Section 125 Cr.P.C. was disposed of on basis of an agreement. The contents of the application filed under Section 125(3) Cr.P.C. is reproduced hereinafter:- " नयतयतलय शलमतनन पधतन नयतयतधलश पररवतर नयतयतलय चनददलल यतवचकत सअ०-716 सनन 2023 ममतत दपवल पतनल ससबपदतर रतम पसतल कतशल पसतद उम- हतलपतत- गतम- बडगतअवत सतनत- बलसआ जनपद चनददलल। ---- यतवचनल बनतमन ससबपदतर रतम पसत ववकमत रतम वनवतसल गतम- असवररयतअ (कमतलपसर) पल०- कमतलपसर सतनत- धतनतपसर जनपद चनददलल --- ववपकल पतसरनत पत अ०धतरत- 125(3) सल०आर०पल०सल० पतधसरनल/ यतवचनल वनमनधलधखत वनवपदन करतल हह- यतवचनल नप शलमतनन पधतन नयतयतधलश पररवतर नयतयतलय चनददलल कप यहतअ (1) यह वक पतधसरनल/ पलषण यतवचकत सअखयत- 129/2015 भरण- मतननलय नयतयतलय दतरत वदनतअक 24.03.2017 धतरत 125 सल०आर०पल०सल० दतधखल वकयत सत जल ई० कल ववपकल कल वनणरय कक वतधस सप वनवणरत वकयत जत चसकत हह। (2) यह वक मतननलय नयतयतलय दतरत ववपकल ससबपदतर रतम कल आदपवशत वकयत गयत हह वक यतवचनल एक हजतर पतअच सद) वयसक रपयत व यतवचनल कक पसतल शपयत कल 1500/- ( तलन हजतर) कल 3000/-( हलनप तक पवतमतह पतयपक मतह कक सतत ततररख कल अदत करनत ससवनसशचत वकयत जतवप। (3) यह वक मतननलय नयतयतलय कप धनरतवश ववपकल दतरत हम यतवचनत कल भरण- पलषण हपतस नहल दल गई हह। वनणरय वदनतअक 24.03.2017 ई० सप आज तक कक आदपवशत (4) यह वक यतवचनल बपरलजगतर व असहतय मवहलत हह जल अपनत तसत अपनप बचचल कत भरण पलषण करनप मम असमसर हह तसत अपनप मतयकप मम अपनप वपतत कप उपर बलझ बनकर पडल हहई हह। तसत भसखमरल कप कगतर पर पहह अच चसकक हह। (5) यह वक वनणरय कक वतधस 24.03.2017 ई० सप अब तक कक आदपवशत भरण- पलषण कक धनरतशल कस ल 292500/- ( ररकवरल वतरणट जतरल करकप यतवचनल कल भरण- दल लतख बनतबप हजतर पतअच सद रपयप) कक वससलल करनप हपतस गहर जमतनतलय व पलषण वदलतयत जतनत आवशयक एवअ नयतयतसअगत हह। पतसरनत ववरद भरण- दल लतख बनतबप हजतर पतअच सद रपयप) अतत मतननलय नयतयतलय सप पतसरनत हह वक ववपकल कप अब तक कक कस ल-292500/- ( व ररकवरल वतरणट जतरल करकप वससलल करतकप यतवचनल कल भरण- दपवम ततवक नयतय हल।" पलषण कक आदपवशत धनरतशल कक वससलल हपतस गहर जमतनतलय पलषण हपतस वदलतयप जतनप कत आदपश 5. Learned counsel next submits that his wife has mislead the learned Family Court. The learned Family Court issued a notice to the applicant, however, it appears that he has not appeared and thereafter on 12.03.2024 recovery warrant was issued which has been challenged before this Court. Learned counsel submits that he may be granted an opportunity to appear before the learned Family Court to place the above referred facts as well as that to show that the complainant has not come up with clean hands. 6. I have heard counsels for the applicant and perused the above referred documents and I find substance in the argument of learned counsel for applicant, so much as that it appears that his wife has not placed the order dated 09.12.2017 passed in the National Lok Adalat, as referred above, which may be a ground that even the application so filed under Section 125(3) may not be maintainable. 7. In the aforesaid circumstances, facts of the present case warrants interference of this Court and accordingly by invoking the inherent powers of this Court the impugned order dated 12.03.2024 is kept in abeyance for a period of four weeks and this application is disposed of with a direction that the applicant will appear before the learned Family Court within one week and will have liberty to file objections disclosing the above referred facts. Thereafter, the learned Family Court will pass an order after hearing both the parties. In case of default the impugned order will come into force otherwise it will remain subject to outcome of application. 8. Registrar (Compliance) to take steps. Order Date :- 13.8.2024 Saurabh
