This is a revision application under Section 397 read with Section 401 of the Criminal Procedure Code, at the instance of the wife, who had applied to the learned Magistrate for maintenance under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The trial Court had granted maintenance in favour of the wife, which order was challenged by the husband by way of a revision, which revision was allowed by the Sessions Court, and the judgment and order of the learned Magistrate granting maintenance in favour of the wife was quashed and set aside. Hence, the present revision.2.
