Chandramohan vs State Of Kerala Represented By The on 21 January, 2009<\/div>\n
       \n\n  \n\n  \n\n \n \n  IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM\n\nRPFC.No. 184 of 2008()\n\n\n1. CHANDRAMOHAN,C.NO.4938,\n                      ...

Justice R.BASANT\n\n Dated :21\/01\/2009\n\n O R D E R\n                            R.

      The petitioner has suffered an order under Section 125<\/p>\n
Cr.P.C. obliging him to pay maintenance at the rate of Rs.3,000\/-<\/p>\n
p.m. to his wife and two minor children from 16.6.2003, the date<\/p>\n
of the petition in M.C. 227 of 2003. That order was passed on<\/p>\n
18.12.2003. Four petitions were filed for execution of that order.<\/p>\n
Total period of default covered by these four petitions was 46<\/p>\n
months. The learned Judge of the Family Court took note of the<\/p>\n
fact that an amount of Rs.10,000\/- had been paid. The two minor<\/p>\n
children had allegedly become majors and in the third and fourth<\/p>\n
applications, execution was sought only of the order so far as it<\/p>\n
relates to the wife. No payment was made and as per orders<\/p>\n
passed in two applications on 1.6.2007 the petitioner was<\/p>\n
sentenced under Section 125(3) Cr.P.C. to undergo imprisonment<\/p>\n
for a period of 9 months and 12 months respectively. By later<\/p>\n
orders dt. 22.6.07 and 31.8.2007 he was sentenced to undergo<\/p>\n
imprisonment for a further period of 12 months and 12 months<\/p>\n
respectively. The petitioner is thus undergoing imprisonment from<\/p>\n
1.6.2007.\n<\/p>\n
      2. The petitioner has preferred this revision petition through the<\/p>\n
prison authorities.   Services of a State Brief counsel was made<\/p>\n
available to the petitioner.     Subsequently a counsel has entered<\/p>\n
appearance and he has advanced arguments on behalf of the petitioner.<\/p>\n
      3.    According to the learned counsel for the petitioner the<\/p>\n
impugned orders are incorrect, wrong, unjust and harsh. The counsel<\/p>\n
raises a contention that the petitioner, as a matter of fact, had paid a<\/p>\n
total amount of Rs.75,000\/- Credit has been given to an amount of<\/p>\n
Rs.10,000\/- by the learned Judge of the Family Court. But for the<\/p>\n
balance amount of Rs.65,000\/- paid (Rs.50,000\/- on 13.4.06 and<\/p>\n
Rs.15,000\/- on 4.5.06) no credit has been given. This payment was<\/p>\n
actually made by cheques, it is submitted. Receipts duly executed by<\/p>\n
the first claimant wife duly attested by witnesses are available with the<\/p>\n
petitioner and those documents are produced before this Court. It is<\/p>\n
prayed    in these circumstances that the sentence imposed on the<\/p>\n
petitioner is unjust and harsh. There may be a direction to the learned<\/p>\n
Judge of the Family Court to consider the matter afresh.<\/p>\n
      4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the first<\/p>\n
claimant is already before the Family Court with a later application for<\/p>\n
execution of the order. In these circumstances the petitioner, who is<\/p>\n
remaining in custody from 1.6.2006, may not be compelled to remain<\/p>\n
in custody any longer awaiting issue and return of notice to the<\/p>\n
respondent. Appropriate directions may be issued, it is prayed.<\/p>\n
      5. I am ignoring the technicality that one revision petition has<\/p>\n
been filed to assail four different orders. I find merit in the submission<\/p>\n
of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the question whether as a<\/p>\n
matter of fact a further amount of rs.65,000\/- had actually been paid or<\/p>\n
not deserves to be considered. This is notwithstanding the fact that the<\/p>\n
petitioner had not raised such specific plea before the learned Judge of<\/p>\n
the Family Court when the impugned orders were passed.                The<\/p>\n
genuineness of the receipts has to be got to be ascertained in detail<\/p>\n
and the response of the claimant has to be ascertained.<\/p>\n
      6. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that even<\/p>\n
going by the admitted version of the claimant, second and third<\/p>\n
claimants attained majority long earlier and the petitioner is not liable<\/p>\n
to continue to pay maintenance to them during the relevant period.<\/p>\n
That contention also deserves to be considered. The counsel further<\/p>\n
submits that execution has been claimed in the third and fourth<\/p>\n
petitions for the period during which the petitioner was admittedly in<\/p>\n
prison as per order dt. 1.6.2007. That aspect has also not been taken<\/p>\n
into consideration by the learned Judge of the Family Court. In these<\/p>\n
circumstances the only prayer made is that the impugned orders may be<\/p>\n
set aside and the learned Judge of the Family Court may be directed to<\/p>\n
dispose of all the four petitions afresh giving opportunity to the<\/p>\n
petitioner to substantiate his contentions:\n<\/p>\n
      a) that a further amount of Rs.65,000\/- had already been paid as<\/p>\n
per receipts dt. 13.4.06 and 4.5.06;\n<\/p>\n
      b) that the minor children had attained majority and the petitioner<\/p>\n
is not entitled to pay maintenance to them after the dates on which they<\/p>\n
attained majority.\n<\/p>\n
       c) At least for the period during which the petitioner was in<\/p>\n
custody undergoing imprisonment he should not be reckoned as having<\/p>\n
wilfully defaulted payment.\n<\/p>\n
       d) At any rate, the petitioner is entitled to leniency and merely<\/p>\n
because it is legally competent to impose a sentence of one month for<\/p>\n
default in payment of maintenance for one month or part of it, the<\/p>\n
maximum sentence need not necessarily be imposed.<\/p>\n
       7. I am satisfied that the request can be accepted. I take note of<\/p>\n
the fact that the petitioner has been remaining in custody for a period<\/p>\n
exceeding 19 months(from 1.6.07).        I am satisfied that this revision<\/p>\n
petition can be allowed.\n<\/p>\n
       8. In the result:\n<\/p>\n
       a) This revision petition is allowed.\n<\/p>\n
       b) The impugned orders i.e. i) dt.1.6.07 in CMP 564 of 2004,<\/p>\n
ii) dt.1.6.07 in CMP 750 of 2005, iii) dt. 22.6.07 in CMP 610 of 2006<\/p>\n
and iv) dt.31.8.07 in E.P.(Crl.) 1085 of 2007 are hereby set aside.<\/p>\n
      c) The learned Judge of the Family Court is directed to dispose<\/p>\n
of all these four applications afresh in accordance with law giving the<\/p>\n
petitioner an opportunity to raise and substantiate his contentions.<\/p>\n
      d) The petitioner is said to be in custody . He shall be released<\/p>\n
from custody forthwith. He shall appear before the learned Judge of<\/p>\n
the Family Court to continue the proceedings on 24.2.2009. If he does<\/p>\n
not appear the learned Judge can proceed to dispose of the petitions<\/p>\n
afresh on the basis of the materials available and placed before court.<\/p>\n
      e) The receipts dt.13.4.06 and 4.5.2006 produced before this<\/p>\n
Court shall forthwith be forwarded to the Family Court along with a<\/p>\n
copy of this order.\n<\/p>\n
      9. Hand over the order.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                                               (R. BASANT)
