SRI.C.A.CHACKO THIS OP (CRIMINAL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 05.03.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:

O R D E R

The petitioner is the minor daughter of the respondent, who is presently aged 10 years. As per

order in M.C.No.217/2016 (Ext.P1 order), the court

below directed the respondent herein to pay Rs.5,000/- (Rupees Five Thousand Only) per month towards the maintenance of the petitioner herein. Thereafter, the respondent filed M.C.No.222/2019 (Ext.P3) under Section 127 Cr.P.C. praying for cancellation of Ext.P1 order. Thereafter, the petitioner filed M.C.No.29/2021 (Ext.P5) before the court below praying for enhancing the maintenance awarded as per Ext.P1.

2. The prayer in this original petition is to issue direction to the court below to consider and dispose of M.C.No. 29/2021 and M.C.No. 222/2019 together.

3. Heard.

4. The learned Counsel for the respondent has

submitted that even though there was a direction from this Court as per Ext.P4 order to the court below to dispose of M.C.No.222/2019 within three months from the date of receipt of the certified copy of Ext.P4, the court below has not so far complied with the said direction. It has been admitted by both sides that the evidence is not yet recorded in Ext Nos.P3 and P5.

Since Ext.Nos.P3 and P5 relate to Ext.P1 order

granting maintenance to the petitioner, it is only just and proper to consider Ext.Nos. P3 and P5 together. Therefore, the court below is directed to consider and dispose of M.C.No.29/2021 and M.C. No.222/2019 together, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible and at any time within three months from the date of receipt of this judgment. This Original Petition (Crl) stands disposed of as above. I make it clear that the court below will ensure that Exts.P3 and P5 will be disposed of, in accordance with law, within the period stipulated in this

judgment.
