Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jan-05-1976

Reported in: (1976)78BOMLR240; 1976MhLJ628

Vaidya, J.1. This application under Article 227 of the Constitution, would have been rejected summarily, without recording the following reasons, but for the fact that the learned Sessions Judge, Ahmednagar, while delivering his judgment, on August 27, 1975, dismissing the Criminal Revision Application, filed by the husband, erroneously described the order of the Magistrate, as awarding maintenance to the wife, Husnabanu-respondent No. 1 at Rs. 50 per month though the learned Judicial Magistrate, First Class had ordered, on the application under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, that the wife is entitled to maintenance at the rate of Rs. 75 per month from the date of the application i.e. April 18, 1974; and the child, respondent No. 2 is entitled to a further sum of Rs. 50 per month beginning from that date.

Vaidya J.1. The above Application, filed by the Second Party, in a proceeding under Section 145 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, pending before the Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Vaijapur, District Aurangabad, must be rejected because it is directed against an interlocutory order, passed under that section, on March 13, 1975.2. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that although, under Section 397(2), the powers of revision shall not be exercised in relation to interlocutory orders, this Court can in exercise of its powers under Section 482 interfere with an interlocutory order. This contention cannot be accepted.3. Section 397(2) was enacted by the Parliament because when revisions in respect of interlocutory orders are filed in High Court and admitted, the proceedings in lower Courts are in most cases stayed; and this holds up the matters until disposal of the revision petitions.
