Thereafter          he     filed    application          for<\/p>\n<p>quashing      the    order        of    the   Magistrate         granting<\/p>\n<p>maintenance         and    the     dismissal       of    the     revision<\/p>\n<p>application before this Court. It appears from<\/p>\n<p>the judgment itself,that by order dated 23.6.1992<\/p>\n<p>passed in the aforesaid case this Court directed<\/p>\n<p>the     husband      to      pay        Rs.250\/-        per    month    as<\/p>\n<p>maintenance allowance till the disposal of the<\/p>\n<p>case.     It is further apparent from the impugned<\/p>\n<p>judgment that              the    husband     went on depositing<\/p>\n<p>money    at    the        rate    of     Rs.250\/-       per     month    in<\/p>\n<p>compliance of the order. However, ultimately the<\/p>\n<p>aforesaid        criminal              miscellaneous           case     was<\/p>\n<p>dismissed. Thereafter the wife filed a petition<\/p>\n<p>for realization of Rs.40,000\/- which was due to<\/p>\n<p>her as arrears of                maintenance.       She prayed for<\/p>\n<p>issuance       of     distress           warrant.        The      learned<\/p>\n<p>Magistrate       directed          for     issuance       of     distress<\/p>\n<p>warrant       against       the    husband        and    in     execution<\/p>\n<p>thereof, Flour Mill and Howler were seized.

Accordingly, she prayed<\/p>\n<p>for   appropriate             action        against       the     police<\/p>\n<p>authority and release of the amount.                            Wife in<\/p>\n<p>response    thereto       stated          that    claim    of    Mridula<\/p>\n<p>Devi that she is the owner of the property is<\/p>\n<p>incorrect and in fact she is a concubine of her<\/p>\n<p>husband     and     in    order        to       deprive         her   the<\/p>\n<p>maintenance she is claiming to be its owner.<\/p>\n<p>      The Principal Judge, Family Court, Patna on<\/p>\n<p>consideration of the materials on record rejected<\/p>\n<p>her prayer by order dated 13.11.1998 passed in<\/p>\n<p>Maintenance Case No. 291(M) of 1988.<\/p>\n<p>      Aggrieved          by    the    same       she   has   preferred<\/p>\n<p>this appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>      Mr.         Dhurb        Narayan,          Senior      Advocate,<\/p>\n<p>appearing    on     behalf      of     the       appellant      contends<\/p>\n<p>that the Court below ought to have accepted the<\/p>\n<p>plea of the appellant that the property belonged<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>to her and consequently, directed its release and<\/p>\n<p>the amount deposited by her. In this connection,<\/p>\n<p>our attention has been                  drawn to the documents<\/p>\n<p>filed   by      the   appellant          in    the    Court    below.      A<\/p>\n<p>Chircut      dated 28.8.1997 was filed on behalf of<\/p>\n<p>the     appellant         showing         that        she     had      paid<\/p>\n<p>consideration money to the husband for the land<\/p>\n<p>upon    which      the   machine         room    is    existing.         The<\/p>\n<p>Court below did not place any reliance on the<\/p>\n<p>said    document         taking         into    account        that      the<\/p>\n<p>electricity receipts            have been filed of the year<\/p>\n<p>1989 and, as such, the plea put fourth by the<\/p>\n<p>appellant that she paid the consideration money<\/p>\n<p>to    Sita   Ram      Singh    in       1997    is    not   fit     to    be<\/p>\n<p>believed.        It observed that when the land was<\/p>\n<p>sold in the year 1997 how could the receipts of<\/p>\n<p>the electricity bill of the Mill standing over<\/p>\n<p>that could be of the earlier years. The Court<\/p>\n<p>below also took into consideration order dated<\/p>\n<p>30.4.1998 passed              in Insolvency Case No. 1 of<\/p>\n<p>1997 which shows that it is the husband who had<\/p>\n<p>filed     the     Insolvency            case    for     stay      of     the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>distress warrant issued by the Family Court.The<\/p>\n<p>affidavits of three persons supporting her case<\/p>\n<p>have    been      disbelieved       as     same    came      into<\/p>\n<p>existence after the dispute has arisen. Not only<\/p>\n<p>this the amount for release of the property was<\/p>\n<p>not    deposited by the appellant but the husband&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>father.\n<\/p>\n<p>        It is relevant here to state that according<\/p>\n<p>to the wife, appellant is the concubine of her<\/p>\n<p>husband and the specific direction was given to<\/p>\n<p>her    by   the    Court    below   to   state    her   status.<\/p>\n<p>Despite that she declined to do the same.<\/p>\n<p>               Taking into account the aforesaid fact<\/p>\n<p>the Court below came to the conclusion that the<\/p>\n<p>property     seized    in    execution    of     the    distress<\/p>\n<p>warrant in fact belonged to the husband and this<\/p>\n<p>appellant in order to deprive the wife the amount<\/p>\n<p>of     maintenance     as    claimed     that     to    be   her<\/p>\n<p>property,      we are of the opinion that the Court<\/p>\n<p>below on consideration of the materials on record<\/p>\n<p>rightly held so and no case for interference is<\/p>\n<p>made out.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>            In the result, we do not find any merit in<\/p>\n<p>      the appeal and it is dismissed with cost which is<\/p>\n<p>      assessed at Rs.1100\/- to be paid by the appellant<\/p>\n<p>      to respondent no.1.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                        (Chandramauli Kr.Prasad,J.)<\/p>\n<p>                              (Dr. Ravi Ranjan,J.)<\/p>\n<p>Patna High Court<br \/>\nDated the 17th of July,2008<br \/>\nA.Kumar\/NAFR\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patna High Court Smt.Mridula Devi vs The Principal Judge,Family C on 17 July, 2008 Author: Chandramauli Kumar Prasad MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL No.590 OF 1998 Against the order dated 13.11.1998 passed by the Principal Judge,Family Court, Patna in Maintenance Case No. 291 of 1988;
