Banarasi Bai Under Section 488, Criminal P. C, for maintenance be set aside and maintenance at the rate of Rs. 12\/-per month be awarded. Shri K. G. Shrivastava appears in support of the reference and the Public Prosecutor also supports it. I have heard the opposite party Shri Ghisoolal who appears in person.\n<\/p>\n<p>(2) There is no denying the fact that the applicant is the wife of the opposite party Ghisoolal. The applicant is not living with her husband who, has married a second time. This is sufficient ground for refusing to live with her husband. In the circumstances, the applicant is clearly entitled to maintenance.\n<\/p>\n<p>The sum of Rs. 12\/- per month cannot be considered to be excessive. I doubt if it will prove sufficient, but perhaps the opposite party cannot afford to pay a larger sum. I, therefore, accept the reference, set aside the order passed by the learned Honorary Magistrate dismissing the application Under Section 488, Criminal P. C, and direct Ghisoolal to pay the maintenance at the rate of Rs. 12\/- per month from the date of the application and not from the date of the second marriage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rajasthan High Court Banarsi Bai vs Ghisoolal on 6 August, 1954 Equivalent citations: 1955 CriLJ 167 Bench: N J.C.
